Helps keep foam from reactions that can severly foam, out of the condensor.Chemist514 - 21-1-2007 at 14:11

So id put this between the adapter coming off the flask im boiling and into the condensor. thanks very much! i wont put it in "dungeon" storage then.
may be handy.
many thanks.bio2 - 21-1-2007 at 21:44
Also can be used as fractionating bulb, anti-entrainment separator and steam/condensate trap.
Similar to these come in several configurations.The_Davster - 21-1-2007 at 23:23

Could you elaborate on what these are for? I have never had the pleasure of working with one.bio2 - 21-1-2007 at 23:44
When simple distilling it is often the case that a much
higher boiling component of a mixture will carry-over into
the vapors of a lower boiling component Distilling
too fast or bumping also cause entrainment.
This can sometimes be seen as a mist. A Claisen
sidearm or a simple screen mesh will reduce entrainment.
