Patent ID: 7306029

Claim:
A condenser, comprising: a first component having a first heat transfer element with a plurality of coils in communication with a first component inlet port and a first component outlet port configured to allow a fluid to pass through said coils of said first heat transfer element, said first component having a tube surrounding said coils of said first heat transfer element, wherein said first heat transfer element is configured to cool gas present in said tube to cause condensation; and a second component having a second heat transfer element with a plurality of coils in communication with a second component inlet port and a second component outlet port configured to allow a fluid to pass through said coils of said second heat transfer element; wherein said first component and said second component are releasably attachable to one another such that when attached at least some of said coils of said second heat transfer element are positioned in a passageway defined by said coils of said first heat transfer element such that both said first and second heat transfer elements are configured to cool gas present in said tube to cause condensation, and when detached at least some of said coils of said second heat transfer element are capable of being removed from said passageway defined by said coils of said first heat transfer element.
