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. (condenser) capacitor: an electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge
  2. (condenser) an apparatus that converts vapor into liquid
  3. (condenser) a hollow coil that condenses by abstracting heat
  4. (condenser) lens used to concentrate light on an object
  5. (Condenser (heat transfer)) 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. (Condenser (laboratory)) 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. (Condenser (microscope)) A condenser is one of the main components of the optical system of many transmitted light compound microscopes. ...
  8. (Condenser (optics)) 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. (Condenser (steam turbine)) 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. (condenser) 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 ...
  11. (Condenser) 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. ...
  12. The condenser's function is to radiate heat. Radiator-type component where refrigerator gives off heat by being changed from a gas to a liquid.
  13. (Condenser) A heat-transfer device that reduces a fluid from a vapor phase to a liquid phase.
  14. (Condenser) The large unit that is located outside the house in a split air conditioning system.  The condenser consists of condenser coils, a compressor, a fan and fan motor, and electrical components.
  15. (Condenser) The part of the still, typically a copper coil, in which the steam condenses into liquid alcohol.
  16. (Condenser) The section of the optical system of the lantern which concentrates the light from the illuminant on to the slide. It usually consists of two plano-convex lenses with the convex sides facing each other.
  17. (Condenser) Older name for capacitor.
  18. (Condenser) 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.
  19. (Condenser (Heat Exchanger)) 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.
  20. (Condenser) A heat exchanger in which hot, pressurized (gaseous) refrigerant is condensed by transferring heat to cooler surrounding air, water or earth.
  21. (condenser) 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. ...
  22. (Condenser) A device or unit used to condense vapour to liquid. The outdoor portion of an air conditioning or heat pump system that serves as a heat transfer point for dispelling heat to the outside air, as in an air conditioner or heat pump in the summer, or for collecting heat from outside air ...
  23. (CONDENSER) Electrical component exhibiting capacitance (the ability to temporarily store electric current) and block direct current.
  24. (Condenser (Electric)) Sheets of a conducting material, such as tinfoil, insulated from one another by some material, such as paraffin waxed paper. The alternate layers of the tinfoil are connected together to form practically two large sheets of conducting surface. ...
  25. (Condenser (Microphone)) Also known as a capacitor microphone, the diaphragm acts as one plate of a capacitor, and the sound vibrations produce changes in the distance between the plates. ...
