PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a condenser, in particular, a multifunctional condenser including a conduit passing through the second header, to take out energy from a refrigerant flowing through the condenser, in addition to condensation of the refrigerant, and to impart the energy to the refrigerant to a compressor flowing through the conduit. SOLUTION: This multifunctional condenser for an air-conditioning system includes the first header, the second header, a plurality of tubes, and the conduit. The tubes are extended with a parallel relation between the first and second headers to be fluid-communicated between the headers. The second header includes a header portion and a receiver portion. The conduit is extended inside the receiver portion and outside the receiver portion, is surrounded by the receiver portions, and a space is formed between the conduit and the receiver portions. Heat is transferred between the high-temperature refrigerant flowing in the receiver portion, and the relatively low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the header portion and the conduit, when the refrigerant separatedly from the refrigerant flowing in the space and the header portion flows through the conduit, so as to enhance the efficiency of the air-conditioning system as the whole.
