Helps keep foam from reactions that can severly foam, out of the condensor.

Also can be used as fractionating bulb, anti-entrainment separator and steam/condensate trap.
Similar to these come in several configurations.

Could you elaborate on what these are for? I have never had the pleasure of working with one.

When simple distilling it is often the case that a much
higher boiling component of a mixture will carry-over into
the vapors of a lower boiling component Distilling
too fast or bumping also cause entrainment.
This can sometimes be seen as a mist. A Claisen
sidearm or a simple screen mesh will reduce entrainment.
