Properties:

A heat transfer device designed to lower compressed air temperature to an acceptable level by passing it through an exchanger core immersed in a tank of water. The heat of the air is absorbed by the water causing the water to boil and carry the heat off as steam reducing the air temperature. May contain a water tank and/or a collector or condensor section turning a portion of the steam back into water conserving the water supply. Contains air inlet and outlet ports. May incorporate an air bypass outlet and a steam vent port. Normally used in aircraft air conditioning systems.
