Condenser
Coil condenser in borosilicate glass
Coil condenser in borosilicate glass for efficient condensation of vapour — the cooling medium runs through the coil while vapour condenses around it in the shell, and the whole process stays visible.

Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
The condenser is the counterpart to the boiler in a glass distillation train. A coil is fused into a glass shell; cooling water circulates through the coil, and vapour entering the shell gives up its latent heat to the coil surface and runs off as condensate. Because both the shell and the coil are borosilicate, the operator can watch the condensation front and check that the unit is not flooding or letting vapour through.
The supplied product sheet describes it as a PTFE lined condenser built from premium borosilicate glass, for efficient condensation and superior chemical resistance — intended for laboratory and industrial duty on corrosive chemicals and high purity processes. The sheet shows the unit in three body sizes, from a slim column-mounted condenser to a wide-bodied unit with flanged connections.
No dimensional datasheet was supplied for this item, so its shell sizes, coil heat transfer areas and catalogue references are confirmed on enquiry rather than estimated from the neighbouring boiler and product cooler pages.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Coil fused into a borosilicate glass shell
- Cooling medium circulated through the coil
- PTFE lined construction for chemical resistance
- Side connections for cooling water inlet and outlet
- Available in a range of body sizes, from slim to wide-bodied
- Fully transparent — the condensation front stays visible
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Borosilicate shell and coil keep the whole condensing duty in view
- Inert to almost all process media, so condensate is not contaminated
- Smooth glass coil resists fouling and cleans down easily
- Mounts directly onto a glass column or reactor in the same range
- Suits corrosive service where a metallic condenser would not last

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
The supplied product sheet shows three body sizes but publishes no dimensions, so we do not quote a shell size or heat transfer area here. Send us your vapour load and cooling water temperature and we will confirm the right unit against the drawing.
Duty and shell cross section. The boiler vapourises liquid by passing steam through the coil and is built with a bigger shell-side cross section to carry vapour away. The condenser does the opposite — cooling medium in the coil, vapour condensing in the shell.
Yes. The wetted path is borosilicate glass with PTFE lining, which is why the product sheet calls it out for corrosive chemicals and high purity processes.
Not for this item. The boiler page publishes 350 Kcal/m²hr·°C at 3.5 bar steam because that figure is printed in its catalogue page; no equivalent figure was supplied for the condenser, so none is claimed.
