3.2 The condenser unit
Introduction
The condenser unit is used to condense out solvent va-
pors under a reduced pressure and to collect them in a
receiving flask. Cooling liquids may, for example, be water
at room temperature or liquids actively cooled in a cooling
aggregate.
During operation, the condenser unit is connected to a
vacuum source. Never use glassware if it is found to be
cracked. No manipulations may be made on either the
condenser unit or the receiving flask during operation.
Glass parts subjected to a vacuum may implode and cause
material damage and personal injuries. Ground glass joints
may be turned and the unit as a whole moved only has
been fully vented.

the right or on the left of the back legs (depending on the
