Reflux Condensers

Reflux condensers are used to cool the vapors that heated fluids emit and change their physical state back

to liquid by means of a straight, spiraled or coiled circulation cooling method. By reducing the loss of solvent

, a mixture can be heated for extended periods. Reflux condensers are generally used with organic substances

, but some can accommodate volatile substances. Reflux condensers with tightly wrapped coils provide maximum

cooling, with enough surface area to condense such high vapor pressure solvents as hexane. The top and bottom

joints in a reflux condenser accept a standard No. 2 hose connection.
