What is the function of an evaporator?

1. Heat absorption and evaporation to achieve cooling: Under low pressure and low temperature, liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and vaporizes, absorbing heat from the surrounding air or medium, lowering the temperature of the cooled space.
2. Dehumidification: The evaporation process lowers the temperature, causing moisture in the air to condense into droplets on the evaporator's surface and be discharged, dehumidifying the air.
3. Improved system energy efficiency: The evaporator's heat exchange efficiency directly determines the cooling system's cost-effectiveness ratio (COP). Proper piping layout and fin design can significantly reduce energy consumption.
4. Multiple configurations to suit different scenarios: Common structures include dry, wet, plate, and shell-and-tube, allowing for selection based on the needs of various applications, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and cold storage.
