INSULATION EVAPORATOR HINGED WRAP NON-LOGO BLACK

The purpose of the evaporator is to extract heat from the ambient environment (such as the space inside of a refrigerator/freezer/walk-in) allowing that space to cool to a desired temperature which is controlled by a thermostat.

A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them. Two objects connected by an ideal hinge rotate relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation: all other translations or rotations being prevented, and thus a hinge has one degree of freedom. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges like the elbow joint.

Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.
