condensates
Vapor turned liquid
Condensates are substances that have changed from gas to liquid or solid form, typically through cooling.
In physics, a Bose-Einstein condensate is an exotic state of matter formed when atoms are cooled to near absolute zero, causing them to behave as a single quantum entity.
In industrial contexts, condensate often refers to liquid recovered from natural gas processing or steam systems: The pipeline carries natural gas condensates to the refinery.
