Condenser

The condenser is used in both reflux and distillation procedures as to cool and condense vapors. The connectors which are on the bottom of the above photo connect to Tygon tubing, which in turn connects to cold water from the sink and to the drain. Between these two connections, the glassware forms an area called a "water jacket".
