evaporator
Liquid-to-gas converter
An evaporator is a device that converts liquid to vapor, typically through heating.
In refrigeration and air conditioning systems, the evaporator is the component where refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates, producing the cooling effect.
Evaporators also appear in industrial processes for concentrating solutions by boiling off water: The maple syrup evaporator ran all night during sugaring season.
