200mm Glass Air Condenser Deschem, G3.3 Borosilicate, 560°C Anneal

Description

Product Overview

The 200mm Glass Air Condenser by Deschem is a precision‑engineered laboratory component designed for efficient vapor condensation in a variety of scientific processes. Constructed from G3.3 borosilicate glass, the condenser offers superior thermal resistance, chemical inertness, and a high annealing point of 560°C, which together ensure long‑term durability even under demanding heating cycles. Its clear, thick‑walled construction provides excellent visibility of fluid flow while protecting against breakage, making it a reliable choice for both routine and advanced experimental setups.

Measuring 13 x 1.96 x 1.57 inches and weighing just 7.05 ounces, this condenser fits comfortably within standard laboratory glassware racks and can be easily integrated with existing distillation apparatuses. The 200mm length delivers a generous surface area for effective heat exchange, while the straight‑through design promotes smooth airflow and minimizes pressure drop. The unit complies with industry standards for laboratory glassware, reflecting Deschem’s commitment to quality and safety.

Performance and Durability

Thanks to the G3.3 borosilicate composition, the condenser resists thermal shock and chemical corrosion, allowing it to handle aggressive solvents, acids, and bases without degradation. The linear coefficient of expansion (32×10⁻⁷/℃) and a softening point of 820°C further contribute to its stability across a wide temperature range. Users benefit from consistent condensation performance, reduced risk of glass failure, and lower maintenance requirements, which together translate into cost savings and increased experimental reliability.

Usage

This condenser is ideally suited for laboratory distillation, reflux, and cooling applications where precise temperature control and efficient vapor condensation are critical. Researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science can employ the unit for synthesizing compounds, purifying liquids, and conducting analytical procedures. Its compact footprint makes it compatible with benchtop setups, rotary evaporators, and larger distillation columns, providing flexibility across diverse experimental configurations.

In addition to standard laboratory use, the condenser performs well in educational settings, allowing students to observe condensation phenomena firsthand. The clear glass construction facilitates visual learning, while the robust design ensures safety during hands‑on training. Whether employed in a research institute, university laboratory, or industrial pilot plant, the 200mm Glass Air Condenser delivers reliable performance and ease of use.

Compatibility and Accessories

The condenser is compatible with standard ground‑glass joints and can be paired with a range of adapters, clamps, and cooling water supplies. Users may connect it to a Liebig or Graham style distillation head, a reflux condenser, or a custom glass assembly, thanks to its universal 24/40 joint configuration. Optional accessories such as temperature‑controlled water jackets, silicone tubing, and protective caps are available to enhance functionality and extend the lifespan of the equipment.

FAQ

What types of solvents can I safely use with this condenser?

The G3.3 borosilicate glass is resistant to most organic solvents, acids, and bases commonly used in laboratory work, including ethanol, methanol, acetone, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide solutions. However, extremely aggressive reagents such as hydrofluoric acid should be avoided, as they can etch glass.

How do I clean and maintain the condenser to ensure long‑term performance?

After each use, rinse the condenser with distilled water to remove residual chemicals. For stubborn residues, a mild detergent solution followed by thorough rinsing is recommended. Allow the glass to air‑dry or use a lint‑free cloth. Periodic inspection for cracks or cloudiness helps detect early signs of wear.

Can this condenser be used with a water‑cooled jacket for low‑temperature applications?

Yes, the condenser can be connected to a standard water‑cooled jacket or a recirculating chiller. Ensure that the water flow rate is sufficient to maintain the desired temperature and that all connections are securely tightened to prevent leaks.

Is the condenser compatible with rotary evaporators and other rotating equipment?

The condenser’s dimensions and joint size make it suitable for attachment to many rotary evaporators that accept 24/40 ground‑glass connections. Verify the compatibility of your specific evaporator model and use appropriate clamps or adapters to secure the condenser during rotation.

What warranty does Deschem provide for this product?

Deschem offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use conditions. Should any issue arise, contact Deschem customer service for a replacement or repair, subject to warranty terms.
