What is the purpose of an evaporator?
1 Answers
The purpose of an evaporator is to exchange heat with the outside air, absorbing heat through liquefaction to achieve a cooling effect. The evaporator is a component in a car's air conditioning system. High-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator through an expansion valve, where the atomization from the expansion valve turns the liquid refrigerant into a mist. The mist-like refrigerant changes into a gaseous state under low-pressure conditions, absorbing heat during this transformation to produce cool air, thereby achieving the cooling effect. Types of evaporators include: flooded evaporators, dry evaporators, recirculating evaporators, and spray evaporators. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers.
