Top frontal view of the first ever Watt condenser which led to the improvement of the Boulton & Watt steam Engines in comparison with their contemporaries. Steam enters brass condenser at the left. The Steam is forced through the condenser by an air pump (vacuum pump), part of the outer tubing of the later can be seen attached to the steam inlet into the condenser. The steam flows through the input tube down two smaller tubes (not visible) into the false bottom of the condenser which is connected to the integral air pump. For operation the condenser was filled with water.
