This study was devoted to proposing an effective experimental method based on bio-oil composition inversion for understanding biomass pyrolysis vapor evolution in four-staged condensers. The effective length of each condenser was 200 mm. The evolution curves and heat maps of condensable vapors in the whole multi-staged condensing field were provided by Logistics model fitting. With changing condition from "365-345-325-305" to "345-325-305-285", the condensing efficiency of the first condenser increased by 100% but that of the third condenser decreased by 80%. Under condition "365-345-325-305", the largest recovery rate of water was observed at 400 mm away from multi-staged condensing field entrance while that of eugenol was observed at 50 mm away from the entrance, which explained that water was primarily recovered by the second and third condensers whereas eugenol was recovered by the first condenser, and verified the remarkable effect of fractional condensation on the separation of water and high-boiling phenols.
