Evaporator

The evaporator is kind of heat transfer apparatuses

where the heat transfer is done by forced convection or
natural convection. And its an important component of
refrigeration system and air conditioning system.

 For a basic refrigerant cycle shown in figure , which is

used in many forms in all common air conditioning,
refrigeration, heat pump applications. It uses a proper
refrigerant that has the capability to change phase from
liquid to gas and from gas to liquid.

 The evaporators may be classified into a forced

convection type or natural convection type.
Evaporator are also classified into flooded type and dry
expansion type, depending on whether the refrigerant
covers all the surface of heat transfer or some portion of
heat transfer surface is having gas being superheated.
