A condenser is a small pipe-like object used to cool evaporated water in Distillation to convert it back to water from a solution.

A2 In electronics:-

A condenser is the old name for a capacitor. It is a device that stores charge.

It consists simply of two metal plates, close to each other but not touching.

Some have a non conducting (dielectric)layer between them, paper, plastic, ceramic etc.

The plates are commonly metal foils, separated by a dielectric and rolled into a tube shape. A wire is attached to each separate plate.

A capacitor will block the flow of DC current, but allow an AC signal through.

It takes a finite time to charge the plates to the full voltage applied. By charging through a suitable resistor, they can be used for timing.

Connected in parallel across a coil, they can be used as a tuned circuit for radio etc.

Large electrolytic capacitors are used across a DC supply to even out dips and interference, by acting as temporary reservoirs.

Why is a condenser called a condenser?

The reason why it is called a barometric condenser is because it makes contact and it is a long vertical pipe into which it condensates and cools the liquid flow to accomplish the removal of pressure. It is also stated that when the pump is used the system is called a low level barometric condenser.

What is the function of a condensor?

Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.


What is a hot wall condenser as opposed to a dynamic condenser?

Hot wall condenser is used in manual defrost freezers, or cheep refrigerators with the coil on the back. Dynamic condenser's are used on side by side refrigerators or outdoor a/c condensers with a fan to cool them. the difference is power air flow on dynamic or natural convection ( no power fan ) on hot wall.
