What is an Evaporator?

Evaporators are a type of heat exchangers which changes the phase of a refrigerant from liquid to gas. Pressure will be reduced in the system when the liquid refrigerant arrives at the evaporator. This refrigerant will then release heat making itself cooler than the air from the fan around it. Now the refrigerant absorbs heat from the warm air and will reach its low boiling point rapidly, then vaporizes (absorbing the maximum amount of heat) [1].
