Boiling of Refrigerant in the Evaporator – Fin-and-Tube Coil
The evaporator is one of the most important components of the refrigeration cycle, and its main job is to absorb heat from the surrounding environment and convert the refrigerant from liquid to vapor. In a fin-and-tube coil, the refrigerant flows inside the tubes while air passes over the fins. The fins increase the heat-transfer surface area, allowing heat to move from the air to the refrigerant more efficiently. As a result, the temperature of the surrounding environment drops. Boiling begins when...
