Reflux condensers are used to cool the vapors that heated fluids emit and change their physical state back to liquid by means of a straight, spiraled or coiled circulation cooling method. By reducing the loss of solvent, a mixture can be heated for extended periods.
What is the role of reflux condenser in recrystallization?
A reflux apparatus allows for facile heating of a solution, but without the loss of solvent that would result from heating in an open vessel. In a reflux setup, solvent vapors are trapped by the condenser, and the concentration of reactants remains constant throughout the process.
Why is the condenser vertical in reflux?
In order to keep the falling condensate film uniform inside the vertical tube and, thus, to prevent flooding, reflux condensers must operate entirely in the gravity-controlled flow regime. ... For condensation of mixtures, vapor-phase heat transfer plays a key role in the condensation process.
