Terme utilisé très souvent dans la technique frigorifique (...) pour désigner un système de refroidissement dans lequel l'évaporateur est placé directement au contact du milieu à refroidir. Il y a lieu de préciser qu'il s'agit bien d'un évaporateur, c'est-à-dire d'un élément refroidi directement par la détente d'un fluide frigorigène au travers d'une soupape de laminage (détendeur), et non pas d'une batterie froide alimentée par un fluide "secondaire" (ou intermédiaire) tel que l'eau glacée, saumure, etc. Dans ce dernier cas, il s'agirait d'un système à détente indirecte (...) 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9tente%20directe
