condensers
Gas-to-liquid converters
Condensers are devices that condense—converting vapor to liquid or compressing something into denser form.
In refrigeration and air conditioning, a condenser releases heat from refrigerant gas, turning it back to liquid.
In chemistry labs, a condenser cools vapor to collect liquid distillate.
Condenser also names the lens system in a microscope that concentrates light on a specimen, and an older term for capacitor in electrical circuits.
