Principle

Gases are condensing when they are cooled and at high pressure. In this experiment butane is condensed by cooling it to ca. -15 °C. In the second part of the experiment butane is condensed by compressing it.

Benefits


Compact setup

Perfect as demonstration and student experiment

Beautiful illustration of the phase transition from gaseous to liquid



Tasks


Condense butane by cooling it under its boiling point of -0.4 °C.

Condense butane at high pressure.
