A liquid collection and evaporation device is proposed for use between a cooling water regulating valve of a vehicle and an actuator device for actuating the valve. The liquid collection and evaporation device includes a separation tank for collecting and evaporating liquid droplets emerging from the cooling water regulating valve. The separation tank here has a connection to the valve, a connection to the actuator device, and also a multiplicity of openings which firstly prevent the liquid droplets from emerging from the tank and secondly permit droplet evaporation because of waste heat acting on the tank. The invention furthermore relates to a valve unit with such a liquid collection and evaporation device, and to a vehicle with such a valve unit.
