Answer:
There are two primary features of the spiral condenser in the diagram for this question that ensure its function:
The cold water inlet is at the end of the condenser, ensuring that the coldest water "sees" the coldest distillate and that the hottest water "sees" the hottest distillate, an efficient condition called countercurrent flow
The cold water inlet is positioned below the outlet, ensuring that if air bubbles are in the water they will rise due to buoyancy and be swept out of the outlet by the water pressure. Were the water inlet above the outlet, air bubbles' buoyancy would act against the water pressure and cause a buildup of air, decreasing heat transfer efficiency
