condensers, plural;
  1. A person or thing that condenses something, in particular

  2. An apparatus or container for condensing vapor

  3. A lens or system of lenses for collecting and directing light

  1. capacitor: an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge
  2. an apparatus that converts vapor into liquid
  3. a hollow coil that condenses by abstracting heat
  4. lens used to concentrate light on an object
  5. In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, typically by cooling it. In so doing, the latent heat is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the condenser coolant. ...
  6. In a laboratory a condenser is a piece of laboratory glassware used to cool hot vapors or liquids. A condenser usually consists of a large glass tube containing a smaller glass tube running its entire length, within which the hot fluids pass.
  7. A condenser is one of the main components of the optical system of many transmitted light compound microscopes. A condenser is a lens that serves to concentrate light from the illumination source that is in turn focused through the object and magnified by the objective lens. ...
  8. A telescope is an instrument designed to aid the observation of remote objects by collecting some form of electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century. ...
  9. Surface condenser is the commonly used term for a water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed on the exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations. ...
  10. A device designed to condense a gas into a liquid, either as part of a still, steam engine, refrigerator or similar machine; A capacitor; A lens (or combination of lenses) designed to gather light and focus it onto a specimen or part of a mechanism; A dental instrument used to pack filling ...
  11. A heat exchanger in which hot, pressurized (gaseous) refrigerant is condensed by transferring heat to cooler surrounding air, water or earth.
  12. The outside unit of a heating or air conditioning system. Here the refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid and hot or cold air from the building is released to the outside.
  13. The coil responsible for dissipating heat to the surrounding, outside air. Also called the condenser coil, or outdoor coil, its role is reversed when a heat pump is used in heating mode.
  14. optical system which concentrates light rays from a wide source into a narrow beam. Condensers are used in spotlights and enlargers.
  15. The part of a refrigeration system where high pressure, heat latent gas is condensed into a liquid by means of heat transfer to the surrounding air.
  16. A component in the basic refrigeration cycle that ejects or removes heat from the system. The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner or heat pump. ...
  17. A device that transfers unwanted heat out of a refrigeration system to a medium (either air, water, or a combination of air and water) that absorbs the heat and transfers it to a disposal point. ...
  18. A large heat exchanger designed to cool exhaust steam from a turbine below the boiling point so that it can be returned to the heat source as water. In a pressurized-water reactor, the water is returned to the steam generator. In a boiling-water reactor, it returns to the reactor core. ...
  19. equipment that condenses turbine exhaust steam into condensate.
  20. Piece of equipment inside which steam leaving the turbines condenses. Once it has given up its energy content to the turbines, making them spin, the steam does in fact have to be condensed into water, which can then be sent back to the boiler so that more steam can be produced. ...
  21. A chamber where steam is cooled and condensed to water.
  22. The equipment that cools steam and turns it back into water.
  23. These days known as a capacitor.  An electronic component that holds charge and can be used to block DC current whilst passing AC signals.  Values for condensers were usually measured in micro-Farads or pico-Farads (µF or pF).
  24. n: heat is transferred from the gas to the outside air in this unit to condense the ammonia into a liquid.
  25. In refrigeration systems the condenser is the heat exchanger where Hot, compressed refrigerant gas is condensed to a liquid and further cooled to recommence its journey around the circuit.
