  2. Auto-defrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-defrost

    Instead, they use an independent cooling system (for example: an evaporator coil with a defrost heater and a circulating fan in the freezer and a cold-plate or open-coil evaporator in the refrigerator. "Frost-Free" refrigerator/freezer units usually use a heating element to defrost their evaporators, a pan to collect and evaporate water from ...

  3. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    An industrial evaporator used in a chemical plant in Turkey. An evaporator is a type of heat exchanger device that facilitates evaporation by utilizing conductive and convective heat transfer, which provides the necessary thermal energy for phase transition from liquid to vapour. Within evaporators, a circulating liquid is exposed to an ...

  4. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    Dehumidification (air drying) in an air conditioning system is provided by the evaporator. Since the evaporator operates at a temperature below the dew point, moisture in the air condenses on the evaporator coil tubes. This moisture is collected at the bottom of the evaporator in a pan and removed by piping to a central drain or onto the ground ...

  5. Rotary evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_evaporator

    A rotary evaporator [1] (rotovap) is a device used in chemical laboratories for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation.When referenced in the chemistry research literature, description of the use of this technique and equipment may include the phrase "rotary evaporator", though use is often rather signaled by other language (e.g., "the sample was evaporated ...

  6. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

    Seawater is pumped into an evaporator, where it is boiled by a heating coil. Vapour produced is then compressed, raising its temperature. This heated vapour is used to heat the evaporator coils. Condensate from the coil outlet provides the fresh water supply. To start the cycle, an electric pre-heater is used to heat the first water supply.

  7. Cromer cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromer_cycle

    Third, this is accomplished with a higher average evaporator temperature. Compare the midpoint of the evaporator's temperature, line 1 to 4’, to the midpoint of the Cromer cycle's evaporator's temperature, line 2 to 3. These lines represent the work done by the coil on the air stream (its change in enthalpy). This is significant because ...

  8. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    They work by drawing moist air over a refrigerated evaporator with a fan. There are 3 main types of evaporators. They are coiled tube, fin and tube, and microchannel technology. The cold evaporator coil of the refrigeration device condenses the water, which is removed, and then the air is reheated by the condenser coil. The now dehumidified, re ...

  9. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    An Egyptian qullah, set in drafts to cool interiors. Porous pottery and coarse cloth maximize the area for evaporation. An evaporative cooler (also known as evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.
