Why is there a need to fill water in from the bottom of the condenser?

• To ensure that the weight of the condenser is eveny distributed

• To ensure efficient cooling as the condenser will be completely filled

• To ensure a gradual decrease in temperature so that the condenser won't break

• To ensure that the end of the condenser is cooler so that all the water vapour condenses
