James Watt (note: the name is often spelled "Watt" not "Watts" here) improved the steam engine by adding a separate condenser. This innovation made the steam engine more efficient by reducing heat loss, as the condenser cooled the steam back into water without having to reheat the main cylinder, thus making the engine more profitable to operate. Evaporators are not associated with Watt's steam engine improvements, and radiators in the context of steam engines as we know them (like in cars) were not his key addition.
