__NOTOC__ Condenser may refer to:

Heat transfer

* Condenser (heat transfer), a device or unit used to condense vapor into liquid. Specific types include: ** HVAC air coils ** Condenser (laboratory), a range of laboratory glassware used to remove heat from fluids ** Surface condenser, a heat exchange installed in steam-electric power stations to condense turbine exhaust steam into water ** Isolation condenser, an emergency passive system for cooling in some reactors (BWR/2, BWR/3 and SBWR series) in nuclear energy production

Steam engines

Condensing steam locomotive A condensing steam locomotive is a type of locomotive designed to recover exhaust steam, either in order to improve range between taking on boiler water, or to reduce emission of steam inside enclosed spaces. The apparatus takes the exhaust stea ...

Jet condenser The Watt steam engine design became synonymous with steam engines, and it was many years before significantly new designs began to replace the basic Watt design. The first steam engines, introduced by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, were of the "at ...

* Surface condenser

Other uses

* Condensers for collecting atmospheric moisture: ** Air well (condenser) **

Atmospheric water generator An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted by multiple techniques, including condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, ex ...

* Condenser (optics), a lens which gathers visible light and directs it onto a projection lens to concentrate it * Capacitor, formerly called a condenser, an electrical device that stores energy * Condenser microphone, a capacitor-based microphone that converts sound waves into an electrical signal * Synchronous condenser, a rotating machine similar to a motor, used to control AC power flow in electric power transmission
