Abstract: The invention relates to a bath condenser with a condenser block (1) that has evaporation passages (8) for a liquid and liquefaction passages (2) for a heating medium and at least two circulation sections (7) that are located vertically on top of one another. The evaporation passages (8) each have on the lower end of a circulation section (7) at least one entry opening (9) for the liquid and on the upper end of a circulation section (7) at least one exit opening (10), for each circulation section (7) there being a liquid storage tank (15) that is flow-connected to the entry opening (9) and the exit opening (10) of the circulation section (7) and that has a gas offtake (18). The inlet into the gas offtake (18) is not located in the area in front of the side (12) of the circulation section (7) in which the exit opening (10) of the circulation section (7) is located.
