Is the evaporator the same as the heat exchanger?
(2) Of course, the evaporator, the condenser is also a type of heat exchanger, but this type of "heat exchanger" phase change, more special.
Such as radiant heat exchangers, convective heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, needle heat exchangers, heat pipe heat exchangers, spoiler heat exchangers, regenerative heat exchangers, gas heat exchangers,
(1) "heat exchanger" concept is more extensive, contains all the heat exchange for the purpose of all "heat transfer equipment."
Therefore, its name is usually in accordance with the working phase change to name to show the difference with the ordinary heat exchanger.
