    The evaporator is the part of a refrigeration system that absorbs heat from the space being refrigerated. It works by evaporating liquid refrigerant, which removes both sensible and latent heat. There are several types of evaporators including bare tube, plate, finned, shell and tube, and shell and coil. They vary in construction but all work to lower the temperature of the refrigerated space below that of the medium being cooled. Proper evaporator selection depends on factors like required capacity, type of refrigerant, and application.

    Presentation On Evaporators

    Definition- The evaporator is a heat transfer system,


    and is that part of a refrigeration cycle in which liquid
    refrigerant is evaporated for the purpose of removing
    heat from the refrigerated space or product.
    Key points of evaporators
    • Responsible for absorbing heat into the refrigeration system
    • The evaporator is maintained at a temperature that is lower
    than the medium being cooled.
    • The capacity of any evaporator or cooling coil is the rate at which
    heat will pass through the evaporator walls from the refrigerated
    space to the vaporizing liquid.
    Removes both latent and sensible heat from the air in the
    refrigerated box.
    Latent heat is in the form of moisture.
    • Sensible heat reduces air and product temperature.
    Types Of Evaporators
    • Based on their construction the various types of
    evaporators are:
    1. Bare Tube Evaporators :
    a) The bare tube evaporators are made up of copper tubing or steel
    pipes
    b) The copper tubing is used for small evaporators where the
    refrigerant other than ammonia is used
    c) the steel pipes are used with the large evaporators where
    ammonia is used as the refrigerant.
    d) the atmospheric air flows over the bare tube evaporator and the
    chilled air leaving it used for the cooling purposes..
    e) The bare tube evaporators are usually used for liquid chilling
    Plate Type of Evaporators

    a) the coil usually made up of copper or aluminum is embedded in


    the plate so as so to form a flat looking surface.
    b) the plate type of evaporator looks like a single plate, but inside
    it there are several turns of the metal tubing through which the
    refrigerant flows.
    c) advantage of the plate type of evaporators is that they are more
    rigid as the external plate provides lots of safety.
    d) This type of evaporator is widely used in domestic refrigeration.
    e) The plates can also be welded together forming the bank of the
    plate type of evaporators that can be used the larger evaporators
    of higher capacities.
    Diagram Plate Type of Evaporators
    Finned Evaporators
    a) Are the bare tube type
    of evaporators covered with the fins
    b) he fluid tends to move between the
    open spaces of the tubing and does
    not come in contact with the surface
    of the coil, thus the bare
    tube evaporators are less effective.
    c) the finned evaporators are more
    effective than the bare
    tube evaporators.
    d) are most commonly used in the air
    conditioners of almost all types like
    window, split, packaged and the
    central air conditioning systems.
    Shell and Tube types of Evaporators
    • a) Are used in the large refrigeration and central air conditioning
    systems.
    • b) comprise of large number of the tubes that are inserted inside the
    drum or the shell.
    • c) Depending on the direction of the flow of the refrigerant in the
    shell and tube type of evaporator, they are classified into two
    types: dry expansion type and flooded type of evaporator.
    • 1. Dry expansion evaporator: In dry expansion evaporators the
    refrigerant flows along the tube side and the fluid to be chilled
    flows along the shell side.
    • 2. Flooded evaporator : In case of the flooded type
    of evaporators the refrigerant flows along the shell side and fluid
    to be chilled flows along the tube.

    SHELL AND COIL EVAPORATOR
    • 1. Shell and Coil evaporators have one or more spiral shaped,
    bare
    • tube coils enclosed in a welded steel shell.
    • 2. They are generally dry expansion type with refrigerant in coils
    • and chilled liquid in the shell.
    • 3. They have thermal capacity for application for high but
    • infrequent loads.
    • 4. They are used for chilling of drinking water and other aspects
    • where cleanliness is a factor, e.g. Bakeries and Photographic
    • Laboratories.
    According to mode of heat transfer
    • Natural Convection Evaporators :
    • a) are often used in applications where low speed air
    desirable or
    damage dehydration product possible.
    • b) The greater the temperature difference will produce higher
    rates
    of air circulation, because the difference between the density
    of
    warm and cold air increases.
    • c) Cold air is denser than warm air. Therefore, the natural
    circulation
    • evaporators, usually mounted high above the floor die
    refrigerated
    Forced convection evaporator :

    • a) High velocity air over a closely finned coil can increase heat
    transfer.
    • b) The use of forced draught can reduce the overall size and weight of
    the evaporator which can reduce purchasing and installation costs.
    • c) Forced draught also gives:-
    • more rapid cooling
    • even temperatures
    • good humidity control
    • easy defrosting.
    • The fins on a forced draught evaporator are very closely spaced which
    gives a high capacity rating.
