Kondensori

Kondensori is a term used in several languages to describe devices associated with condensation processes or energy storage in electric circuits. Depending on the field, it may refer to a condenser in a refrigeration or air-conditioning system, or to a capacitor (often called a condenser in older terminology) in electronics.

In electronics, a kondensori, or capacitor, stores energy in an electric field between two conductive plates separated by a dielectric. Capacitance is measured in farads. Common types include ceramic, film, electrolytic, and tantalum capacitors. They serve roles such as energy storage, voltage smoothing, signal filtering, and coupling between circuit stages.

In HVAC and refrigeration, a condenser is a heat exchanger that rejects heat from high-pressure refrigerant, condensing it from a gas to a liquid. Air-cooled condensers rely on fins and fans; water-cooled designs use coils with a cooling water loop. The effectiveness depends on refrigerant pressure, ambient temperature, and airflow.

The term Kondensori derives from the Latin condensare and has cognates in many languages, where it denotes related concepts in either electronics or thermal systems. In some contexts, the word kondensori is used as a generic label for components that condition or condense energy or substances, reflecting the shared idea of moving from a vapor or energy state to a more condensed form.
