Pro Tip 1/3Heat Transfer
A condenser in general use often refers to heat exchange, reducing a gas or vapor to liquid.
Air conditioners have an outdoor condenser unit that expels heat from inside.
Pro Tip 2/3Refrigeration Component
In household appliances, a condenser refers to the part that turns refrigerant vapor into liquid.
My freezer stopped working because the condenser broke down.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Always Visible
The condenser in a device may not be easily seen, as it's often part of the internal mechanics.
The technician had to disassemble the unit to reach the condenser.

How we can turn the cold...
To do this, we've built fluid cooling panels, like the ones shown right here. These panels have a similar shape to solar water heaters, except they do the opposite -- they cool the water, passively, using our specialized material. These panels can then be integrated with a component almost every cooling system has, called a condenser,
