The interface between a pure liquid and its vapor is usually close to saturation temperature, hence strongly hindering any thermocapillary flow. In contrast, when the gas phase contains an inert gas such as air, surface-tension-driven convection is easily observed. We here reconcile these two facts by studying the corresponding crossover experimentally, as a function of a new dimensionless number quantifying the degree of damping of interfacial temperature fluctuations. Critical conditions are in convincing agreement with a simple nonlocal one-sided model, in quite a range of evaporation rates.
