Water cooled condensers (1, 2, and 3) are the ones encountered most commonly. The double surfaced condenser (2) and the coiled condenser (3) are the most efficient and are often used for reflux of solvents with low boiling points. For solvents with boiling points in excess of 150 oC an air condenser (4) should be used. The dry ice condenser (5) is designed for use with dry ice/acetone mixtures or even liquid nitrogen as the coolant.
