Product Description
Maximize cooling in a slim condenser by forcing coolant through a narrow jacket at high speed. The West design delivers efficient heat transfer in a compact body, making it a popular choice for reflux and distillation on microscale and teaching setups.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 18185-1420: KONTES West Condenser. This condenser has 14/20 medium length standard taper joints, a 200 mm jacket, about 285 mm overall height and a drip tip.
