Evaporator -

By maintaining low pressure, the fluid can boil at much lower temperatures than usual (e.g., 40°F for AC units or even -40°F for freezers).

An is a specialized heat exchanger that facilitates a phase change by converting a liquid into a vapor. This process is used across various industries, from basic cooling in your home to the concentration of chemicals and the production of maple syrup. 1. How It Works (Thermodynamics) evaporator

As the fluid "boils" (evaporates), it absorbs latent heat from the surrounding environment—effectively cooling the space or concentrating the remaining liquid. 2. Common Types & Applications By maintaining low pressure, the fluid can boil

A refrigerant or process fluid enters the evaporator as a low-pressure liquid/vapor mixture. By maintaining low pressure
