evaporators
Moisture removal devices
Evaporators are devices that convert liquid into vapor, typically by applying heat.
In refrigeration and air conditioning, the evaporator is the component where refrigerant absorbs heat and changes from liquid to gas, producing the cooling effect.
Industrial evaporators concentrate liquids by boiling off water—used in food processing, chemical manufacturing, and wastewater treatment: The maple syrup evaporators ran all night during sugaring season.
