ABSTRACT:
A condenser is provided that makes a liquid droplet of a liquid phase medium drop effectively, the liquid phase medium residing in a lower end opening of a medium passage of the condenser, thereby preventing any degradation in the performance of the condenser. In the condenser, vapor, which is supplied to a cooling pipe (14) connected to cooling fins (16), is cooled, condensed into water, and recovered in a water-collecting tray (21) provided beneath the cooling pipe (14), and a needle-shaped member (24) provided so as to face the lower end opening of the cooling pipe (14) ruptures the droplet that, due to surface tension, resides in the lower end opening of the cooling pipe (14) and makes it drop into the water-collecting tray (21). A plate-form filter can be used instead of the needle-shaped member (24), and in this case not only can the droplet be made to drop from the lower end opening of the cooling pipe (14) more effectively due to the capillary action of the filter, but also dust contained in the water can be removed.
