condenser

A condenser is a device that cools and converts gas into a liquid. It plays a crucial role in various systems, such as air conditioning and refrigeration. In these applications, the condenser receives hot gas, often from a compressor, and cools it down using air or water. As it cools, the gas condenses into a liquid, releasing heat in the process. This liquid can then be used further in the system to absorb heat and continue the cycle. Essentially, the condenser helps manage temperature and maintain efficiency in heating and cooling systems.
