- the support structure may have any outer shape, in particular be flat or curved, but is preferably designed
- Carrier structure formed self-supporting, so requires - for example, in contrast to a coating - no additional support for support.
- proposed evaporator and / or capacitor element is characterized in that particles of a porous material are embedded in the surface of the support structure so that they protrude in part from this surface.

- At least some of the particles are only loose in the surface of the Support structure embedded and are held only by undercuts in the support structure. As a result, these particles are movable in their position in the support structure.
- Particle and local wall of the support structure can be changed in this case by movements of the particle.
- the thus shifting capillary distances contribute to the evaporation.
- the interaction of moving particles and forming bubbles can lead to self-induced vibrations and can be used to improve evaporation.
- the vibrations can also be induced by external influence.
- gaps between the particles and the surrounding material of the support structure are nucleation sites for the formation of bubbles, thereby promoting evaporation.

- the porous particles are made of a material which has a different wetting behavior with respect to the fluid to be evaporated than the material of the support structure. So can the porous ones
- Particles in a support structure made of metal for example, consist of porous ceramic or expanded clay or the like. Furthermore, the particles are preferably formed from a temperature-stable material, which does not lose its desired properties due to the effect of temperature in the production of the element.

- Test series are determined in advance.
- the particles can be embedded more or less deeply into the surface of the support structure.
- the Particle volume protrudes from the surface. If primarily the boiling stone effect, the changed local wetting behavior or other effects of the particles are to be exploited, also a less deep embedding is advantageous.
- the embedding of the particles is preferably in a range which is between 1% and 99%, particularly preferably between 10% and 90%, of the particle volume.
- the information on the particle volume refers in each case to a particle and apply to all or at least the largest part of the surface

- EVA polymer
- the expanded clay particles originally protruding from the polymer are now partially embedded in the surface of the sintered copper structure.
- the copper structure in turn has the form of a three-dimensional network.
- Production of the evaporator and / or capacitor element consists in not coating the three-dimensional EVA network structure 3 used as a starting point for the preceding examples with fine granules of porous ceramic, but instead of layering them with larger granules (particle diameter greater than the mesh size of the mesh).
- This can be seen in section in the photograph of FIG. 4 in cross section, which illustrates the underlying EVA net structure 3 with the connected porous layer of ceramic granulate 2.
