What environmentally friendly options are

For the condensing and collection of samples, many options exist. Con-
denser coils or cold fingers are generally paired with circulating tap water
or dry ice. While these methods are adequate for the purpose, constant
changing of water to prevent algae buildup can get wasteful, along with
a constant need for dry ice. Many manufacturers now offer circulating
chillers which can be attached to evaporators, allowing for highly efficient
condensation without the waste associated with using tap water or dry ice.
