evaporative cooling
The molecules in a liquid are always moving. As the temperature of the liquid increases the molecules have more energy and move faster. The molecules bump into each other making some move yet faster. Occasionally one of the fast moving molecules near the surface breaks through the surface and becomes airborne causing this molecule to leave the liquid. As this happens more and more molecules leave liquid and enter the air. This is evaporation.
A solution with all the solid it can hold dissolved in it is called a 'saturated' solution.
There is a small problem with the question: if you increase the temperature of saturated steam without increasing pressure, it will no longer be saturated - it will be superheated. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that the device that does this is normally called a "superheater". The picture accompanying this question is an example of a superheater.

A solution that does not allow any more solute to dissolve (at room temperature) is called a SATURATED SOLUTION. But a saturated solution can be made to dissolve more solute by heating it. Then it is called a super saturated solution.The solvent becomes saturated and the no more solute will disolve
The cooling process is called condensation. It is the process that happens when a gas cools and becomes a liquid.
It condenses into a cloud up in the atmosphere and then gets precipitated back. We would be talking about the water cycle here. In this question we would be talking about the step called Evaporation. In the cloud, it condenses, that would be the step Condensation. Then when the cloud is full of condensed water, it falls back to the ground as precipitation, not in the same place of course!
