Cooling brought about when a liquid, such as water, changes phase and becomes a vapor or gas. The phase change is accompanied by the absorption of large amounts of heat from the air or the surface where evaporation takes place. Direct evaporative cooling occurs when ventilated air passes over a we... Found on http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/E/AE_evaporative_cooling.html
A physical phenomenon in which evaporation of a liquid, typically into surrounding air, cools an object or a liquid in contact with it. Latent heat describes the amount of heat that is needed to evaporate the liquid; this heat comes from the liquid itself and ... Found on http://www.encyclo.co.uk/local/20453
A cooling system for aero-engines which makes use of the 'latent heat of evaporation' by allowing the cooling fluid to boil, then condensing the steam from it and returning it to the cylinder jackets. The Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine of 1932 was designed on this principle, but was not really successful.

The physical process by which a liquid or solid is transformed into the gaseous state. For this process a mechanical device uses the outside air's heat to evaporate water that is held by pads inside the cooler. The heat is drawn out of the air through this process and the cooled air is blown into the home by the cooler's fan. Found on https://www.encyclo.co.uk/local/22819
