Evaporators and Condensers
Complete solutions for refrigeration systems
The evaporator is the component in a refrigeration system where the refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat. It absorbs ambient heat and cools the inside of the appliance. The condenser, on the other hand, condenses the vaporized refrigerant and releases heat. These components play a vital role in systems such as air conditioners and refrigerators. The evaporator transforms the liquid into vapor at low pressure, while the condenser transforms the vapor into liquid at high pressure, thus facilitating heat transfer.
Evaporator: Heat absorption by vaporization
Condenser: Heat release through condensation
Applications: Refrigeration and air conditioning systems

Types of evaporators and their applications
Plate evaporators
These evaporators optimize the heat exchange surface area and accelerate heat transfer by maintaining the liquid in a thin layer. They are generally preferred for processing viscous liquids and offer high heat transfer efficiency.
Tubular evaporators
Ideal for a wide variety of high-temperature resistant chemical liquids. The steam or hot liquid flowing through the tubes is efficiently heated. Suitable for applications requiring high temperatures.
Rotary evaporators
Primarily used in laboratories for separating small quantities of solutions. They evaporate a solution by heating it in a rotating flask, allowing for rapid and efficient evaporation. Ideal for quickly removing solvents from solutions.
Types of condensers and their specific characteristics
