For solvent volumes from 5 ml up to 1 litreFindenser saves water and prevents laboratory floodingNo risk of flooding from running water, unlike a water cooled condenser Water free condenser eliminates water purchase and disposal costs Helps meet sustainability and water reduction targets Findenser benefitsFindenser air condenser – the sustainable condenser alternative to water condensers. Replaces the need for water-cooled reflux condensers in over 95% of all common chemistry applications No running water requiredFindenser comprises of an internal glass condenser and an external, finned aluminium jacket, between which a small amount of water is permanently sealed.Replace water-cooled condensersThe glass condenser design has a greater internal surface area than traditional air condensers, increasing heat transfer capacity.Increased heat transfer Findenser super air condenser is a waterless air condenser: the finned jacket fits around the glass condenser, further increasing the external surface area.Save water, save moneyThe result is a ‘SUPER air condenser’! Findenser condenser removes the need for water cooling, giving labs a green option as a glass condenser replacement. How much water are you wasting?Water is a precious resource. It makes little economic or environmental sense to waste thousands of litres just to cool a single condenser. Whereas Findenser requires no running water to operate.

Findenser return on investment Compared with a single water condenser, running for just 4 hours a day, Findenser will give you a return on your investment in less than one year. Average water consumption of common household appliances compared with a Findenser and water condenser Findenser performance testingA range of solvents, in identical flasks and set-ups, were tested with a Findenser, water condenser and air condenser to record solvent loss by weight. Test conditions: 500 ml solvent in 1000 ml flask for 16 hours, heating 10˚C above boiling point for each solvent. Compared with an air condenser For synthesis with ‘low’ boiling point solvents, Findenser showed a significant improvement in solvent retention. With acetone or DCM the reaction boiled dry when using an air condenser, yet Findenser retained 95% of the solvent under the same conditions. For synthesis with ‘medium’ boiling point solvents, Findenser delivered improved solvent retention particularly with larger volumes and high temperatures. Compared with a water condenser Under identical conditions, Findenser retained solvent to the same level (within the limits of experimental error) as a water condenser with a range of solvents. Diethyl ether is not recommended for use with Findenser. Findenser not only removed the worry of possible flooding but as it doesn’t need to be close to a water source it freed up space.James Lynch, Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, University of Bath FindenserFor vessels up to 2 litres in size, with a maximum solvent volume of 1 litre Large size Findenser, 400 mm long.
