In vacuum applications, a cold trap bath is a device that condenses all vapors (except the permanent gases) into a liquid or solid. The main purpose is to prevent vapors being produced by an experiment from entering the vacuum pump where they would condense and contaminate it. Cold trap baths can also cool surfaces or baffles to prevent oil vapors flowing from a pump into the chamber. In such a case, a baffle or section of pipe containing a number of cooled vanes, will be attached to the inlet of an existing pumping system.
