What is the main purpose of an evaporator?

 The main purpose of an evaporator is to convert a liquid into a vapor by applying heat, typically as part of a thermal process used in various systems.

In specific contexts:

🔹 In refrigeration and air conditioning:

  • The evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding air or environment.

  • It evaporates the refrigerant, which changes from liquid to gas and carries heat away.

  • This is a key component in the cooling cycle.

🔹 In industrial or chemical processing:

  • An evaporator is used to concentrate solutions by removing water or solvents.

  • For example, in food processing, it concentrates juice or milk.

Summary:

The main purpose of an evaporator is to remove heat from a substance (or remove solvent from a solution) by converting a liquid into vapor.
