Abstract

In a method and an apparatus for converting a liquid flow into a gas flow, a liquid flow is introduced into an evaporation volume, the liquid flow is dispersed so as to enlarge the surface of the liquid, the dispersion being not caused by a change of pressure and taking place without admixture of a medium, and the evaporated liquid flow is conducted out of the evaporation volume.
