Definition

A heat‑exchange device that removes latent heat from a vapor to convert it to liquid (condensation), typically by contacting the vapor with a cooler surface or with a colder fluid; used to recover condensate, reject heat, and maintain desired vapor pressures in distillation, refrigeration and power cycles.
