| − | * In [[chemistry]], a condenser is the apparatus in which some type of [[condensation]] occurs. Chemists may conduct either a [[condensation reaction]] or a vapor-to-liquid [[condensation]] in their work. For example, a chemist may use a Liebig condenser [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig_condenser] for vapor-to-liquid condensation, which is a heat transfer type of condenser as described below. |

* In systems involving heat transfer, a '''condenser''' is a [[heat exchanger]] which condenses a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state. In so doing, the [[latent heat]] is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the condenser coolant. For example a [[refrigerator]] uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. Condensers are used in [[air conditioning]], industrial chemical processes, steam [[power plant]]s and other heat-exchange systems. |

**'''[[Condenser (steam turbine)]]''' is an example of such a heat-exchange system; it is a [[shell and tube heat exchanger]] installed at the outlet of every steam turbine in Thermal power stations. |
