Njengoba ingxube yesampula ezohlanzwa ishiselwa, umhwamuko wayo ukhuphuka ibanga elifushane ukuya ku-condenser eqondile lapho upholiswa khona ngamanzi. Le nqubo isetshenziselwa izinhlanganisela ezingazinzile emazingeni okushisa aphezulu ngoba ivumela izinga lokushisa eliphansi elibilayo ukuthi lisetshenziswe.
