English term or phrase: set up
Este es el contexto, un poco largo pero necesario para saber a qué se hace referencia. Es un experimento

Water evaporates from the surface of the hot tea. This means the liquid water turns to water vapour (the gas form of water). However, neither the tea leaves nor the chemicals they release into the water evaporate. The ice makes the collector cold. When the water vapour hits the collector, it cools and condenses (turns back to liquid water). Then it drips into the cup. So the process of evaporation and then condensation, which is known as distillation, removes impurities (the tea leaves and chemicals in this experiment) from the water.

Trouble shooting

If only a little clear water is collected, check that the water is hot enough. Only hot water with steam rising from it will generate enough vapour to demonstrate distillation. Empty the water in the set up and redo the experiment with hot water.

Vaciar el agua en el set up, no tengo claridad a que hace referencia ese "set up". (De inglés traducido del chino)
