A Condensed Water Collector H. W. STERNBERG and B. T. FISHER Wilmington Chemical Corporation, Wilmington, Delciware E
HEN reflux operations are carried out on a steam W b a t h or during n humid day, a large amount of water is condensed on the condenser jacket. Traces of this condensate may pass into the reaction vessel even through a tightly fitting stopper or ground glass joint. In order to prevent this, a condensed water collector' may be attached to the reflux condenser by means of a rubber stopper (Figure 1) or a reflux condenser1 fitted with a ground glass joint and a condensed water collector (Figure 2) may be used. To our knowledge this condensed water collector was used only in Austrian laboratories and is unknown in this country. May be ordered from A. A. Pesce, Kennett Square, Pennsylvanla.
