VORRICHTUNG UND VERFAHREN ZUM VERDAMPFEN FLÜSSIGER MEDIEN

The invention relates to a device for evaporating liquid media, for example a starting material for a fuel-cell fuel. The device comprises: at least one first heating part (10) for heating a liquid medium, whereby said first part has at least one channel (11) for conducting the medium and at least one first heating device; at least one second heating part (30) for the additional heating of the heated medium, preferably to a predetermined temperature, whereby said second part has at least one channel (31) for conducting the medium and at least one second heating device; and at least one intermediate chamber (20) between a first heating part (10) and a second heating part (30) and/or between two first heating parts and/or between two second heating parts for homogenising and/or vortexing and/or further evaporating and forwarding the heated medium from the outlet of at least one channel of a heating part to the inlet of at least one channel of a subsequent heating part. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for evaporating a medium.
