A family of m independent identically distributed random variables indexed by a chemical potential \phi\in[0,\gamma] represents piles of particles. As \phi increases to \gamma, the mean number of particles per site converges to a maximal density \rho_c<\infty. The distribution of particles conditioned on the total number of particles equal to n does not depend on \phi (canonical ensemble). For fixed m, as n goes to infinity the canonical ensemble measure behave as follows: removing the site with the maximal number of particles, the distribution of particles in the remaining sites converges to the grand canonical measure with density \rho_c; the remaining particles concentrate (condensate) on a single site.
