Best Universal Air Conditioner Condensers in 2026

SIMPLE DESIGN EASY SETUP----The liebig condenser is the most basic water-cooled condenser,also named “water condenser”,which consists of an inner straight tube surrounded by an outer jacket tube,the cool water flows through the outer jacket to condensate the vapor in the inner tube,having a better cooling performance than air condenser.

COMMONLY USED ----A liebig condenser commonly used in a apparatus,also in reflux process and soxhlet extraction can be placed in vertical and oblique position as a reflux condenser and a condenser.As jointed glassware part,it is usually used with a round bottom flask,a three way adapter,a take off adapter to assemble a or reflux setup.

DIMONSIONS----It is designed with 24/40 standard taper joint at top and bottom,and two glass hose connectionsconnecting the inner tube through which coolant flows,the lower hose used for coolant inlet,and the higher hose used for coolant outlet.With the jacket length of 300mm

A graham condenser consists of an inner spiral surrounded by an outer jacket tube

Graham condenser also called Inland Revenue condenser. It is very similar to the coiled condenser

This Graham condenser is designed with 24/40 standard taper joints at top and bottom to fit the flask and other lab jointed glassware apparatus,with 10mm glass hose connections and a jacket length of 300mm

GOOD COOLING PERFORMANCE----The Allihn condenser,also known as a “bulb condenser”,is designed with an inner tube consisting of a series of bulbs which increase the surface area available for vapor condensation surrounded by an outer jacket tube, the cool water flows through the outer jacket to condensate the vapor in the inner tube.Additionally,the Allihn condenser has a wider bore at the bottom and the condensed liquid can run down along the sides avoiding blocking the upward vapor.

COMMONLY USED----Allihn condensers are used for laboratory-scale refluxing and provide a greater surface area than similar Liebig condensers.A reflux apparatus usually consists of an Allihn condenser used as a reflux condenser,a round bottom flask,a drying tube to the atmospheric from entering into the reaction,a separatory funnel or pressure equalizing funnel for adding reagents .Allihn condesner are also can be used in apparatus and soxhlet extraction.

DIMONSIONS----It is designed with 24/40 standard taper joint at top and bottom,and two glass hose connections connecting the inner tube through which coolant flows,the lower hose used for coolant inlet,and the higher hose used for coolant outlet.With the jacket length of 300mm

DIMONSIONS----It is designed with 24/40 standard taper joint at top and bottom,and two removable hose connections connecting the inner tube through which coolant flows,the lower hose used for coolant inlet,and the higher hose used for coolant outlet.With the jacket length of 300mm

West condenser

with 14/20 standard taper joint at top and bottom

two glass hose connections

The Dimroth condenser used as reflux condenser is more effective than liebig condenser, allihn condenser,graham condenser,coiled condenser.It provides larger cooling surface than the coiled condenser.Comparing to the graham-style condenser(liebig,allihn,graham),the Dirmroth condenser is Excellent for use with high vapor pressure solvents

An assembly of a reflux apparatus usually includes a Dimroth condenser,a round bottom flask,a drying tube,a separtory funnel or equalizing pressure funnel.If the flask is single-neck,a claisen adapter should be applied to provide an extra entry.If the flask is three-neck,the middle neck can be fitted a PTFE stirring shaft for better heating performance.

The coil style Dimroth condenser designed with tightly wrapped coil,jacket with an O.D.of 40mm while coil with an O.D.of 8mm , providing larger cooling surface than HMC010603.It has a 24/40 top outer standard taper joint and lower inner drip tip joint.Hose connections have O.D.of 8mm or 10mm at the largest serration.The coil length is 175mm,overall height is 350mm

Reflux Coiled Condenser

125mm In Coil Length

With 24/40 Joints

HIGHER COOLING PERFORMANCE-----A West condenser is a thinner version of the Liebig condenser,with narrow annular space that allows for the increased flow rate of water to provide high cooling efficiency.It consists of an inner straight tube surrounded by an outer jacket tube,the cool water flows through the outer jacket from bottom to top to condensate the vapor in the inner tube. The fused-on narrower coolant jacket may render more efficient cooling with respect to coolant consumption.

WIDELY USED-----A west condenser can be both used in a reflux and a apparatus .In the reflux apparatus, just as the graham condenser,Dimroth condenser,coiled condenser,liebig condenser does,it works with round bottom flask, drying tube,separatory funnel or additional funnel.In the apparatus,it used to condense the vapr into liquid and drip to a receiving flask with a take-off adapter.

DIMONSIONS----It is designed with 24/40 standard taper joint at top and bottom,and two glass hose connections connecting the inner tube through which coolant flows,the lower hose used for coolant inlet,and the higher hose used for coolant outlet.With a jacket lenght of 190mm
