A device or substance that causes condensation, particularly in older scientific or technical terminology.
From Latin condensator, the agent noun form of condensare 'to make thick or dense.' This is an archaic or technical term, largely superseded by the English word 'condenser' in modern usage.
Condensator is essentially the Latin-derived ancestor of our modern 'condenser'—you'll see it in old physics textbooks and scientific papers from the 17th and 18th centuries when scientists were just beginning to understand how gases turn into liquids.
