A Condenser Microphone uses a capacitive diaphragm element to convert sound to electrical signals.
In Electrical Engineering , a synchronous condenser is a rotating machine similar to a motor, used to control Reactive power flow on an electric power transmission system.
In Chemistry , a condenser is the apparatus in which some type of Condensation occurs. Chemists may conduct either a Condensation Reaction or a vapor-to-liquid Condensation in their work. For example, a chemist may use a Liebig Condenser for vapor-to-liquid condensation, which is a heat transfer type of condenser as described below.
In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a Heat Exchanger which condenses a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state. In so doing, the Latent Heat is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the condenser coolant. For example a Refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. Condensers are used in Air Conditioning , industrial chemical processes, steam Power Plant s and other heat-exchange systems.
---Condenser (steam Turbine) is an example of such a heat-exchange system; it is a shell and tube heat exchanger installed at the outlet of every steam turbine in Thermal power stations.
In Optics , a condenser is a large plano-convex Lens , commonly used in pairs in the illumination system present in Projectors , Microscopes , and photographic Enlarger s
