Evaporator

An evaporator is a device in a process used to turn the liquid form of a chemical substance such as water into its gaseous-form/vapor. The liquid is evaporated, or vaporized, into a gas form of the targeted substance in that process. An evaporator is a device in a process used to turn the liquid form of a chemical substance such as water into its gaseous-form/vapor. The liquid is evaporated, or vaporized, into a gas form of the targeted substance in that process. One kind of evaporator is a kind of radiator coil used in a closed compressor driven circulation of a liquid coolant. That is called an air-conditioning system (A/C) or refrigeration system to allow a compressed cooling chemical, such as R-22 (Freon) or R-410A, to evaporate/vaporize from liquid to gas within the system while absorbing heat from the enclosed cooled area, for example a refrigerator or rooms indoors, in the process. This works in the closed A/C or refrigeration system with a condenser radiator coil that exchanges the heat from the coolant, such as into the ambient environment.
