in distilation , how is a condenser set up?
after watching a video made by nurdrage and realising i could use a condenser to distill various chemicals like ammonia water, i was wondering, how is a condenser set up.
now ive looked at a lot of images, and all i see is the top of the condenser where the gas enters, thenthe bottom where the gas exits as a liquid.
now what i dont nderstand is the two middle middle nozzles, ive looked at many setups and theres usually nothing attached to them, or they have a hose attached to them that goes nowhere and you cant see where they end, so i must ask, what are they for, in the sense, what do they do? and what, if anything, are they attached to?
whoever answers my question properly and makes sense will receive a best answer.
also, i will just add, ive searched through google and wikipedia, and found zilch that made any sense to me.

The "middle two nozzles" allow coolant to be pumped through the cooling jacket, removing it as it warms up and replacing it with more at the lower temperature.
