What is an Evaporator?
1 Answers
An evaporator is a heat exchanger. The working principle of an evaporator involves heating a solution to vaporize and remove part of the solvent, thereby increasing the solution's concentration. The evaporator serves as the cooling output device in a refrigeration system, where the refrigerant evaporates inside the evaporator, absorbing heat from the low-temperature heat source medium to achieve cooling. The evaporator mainly consists of two parts: a heating chamber and an evaporation chamber. The heating chamber provides the necessary heat for evaporation, promoting the boiling and vaporization of the liquid. The vaporized liquid then enters the larger space of the evaporation chamber, where it is separated from the vapor through condensation or the action of a demister.
