Which component in an ECU is responsible for ensuring proper cooling during operation?

In an Environmental Control Unit (ECU), the evaporator plays a crucial role in maintaining proper cooling. When working, the evaporator absorbs heat from the environment by allowing refrigerant to evaporate as it passes through coils. This process lowers the temperature of the air, effectively cooling it before it is distributed into the space. The refrigerant within the evaporator grows colder as it absorbs heat, facilitating the cooling effect necessary for the ECU's operation.

Additionally, while other components listed are essential to the refrigeration cycle, they serve different functions. The condenser coil is responsible for dissipating heat, the expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, and refrigerant lines transport the refrigerant between components. However, it is specifically the evaporator that directly ensures the cooling of the air in the ECU.
