Choosing the correct CondenSyn®: a simple guide


The Asynt CondenSyn® waterless air condenser is a unique glass condenser, handmade individually in the UK, that requires no cooling fluid for operation.  By using a unique glass forming technique we have been able to manufacture a high surface area air condenser which is robust and effective, offering fantastic performance without wasting water.

Key Information & Benefits:

  • Performance of the CondenSyn® is equivalent to a Leibig type condenser being used with tap water.
  • No issues with water leakage, and potential flooding.
  • By not using water the environmental impact is reduced as is the costs of water usage.
  • A tidy setup, clear visibility of reflux and easy to clean.
  • Suitable for use under vacuum.
  • Designed to integrate into multiple systems and applications, with fittings to suit.
  • The unique Asynt CondenSyn concept is protected by European Community Registered Designs.
