FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR APPARATUS

Product Description

Specification:

FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR APPARATUS

The present set-up is designed tostudy the operation of Falling Film evaporator. It consists of stainless steeltubes surrounded by a Stainless Steel jacket and fitted with accumulator.Dilute solution is fed to tube from the top and it travels along the innerwalls of the tubes to downward which is heated by Steam from a steam generatorto concentrate the dilute feed solution to a desired level.

The jacket is fitted with a steamtrap and the condensate is collected at the end of trap. The vapors of volatilesolvent are condensed in a shell & tube type condenser and the balancenon-volatile solute collected in the accumulator recycled back to theevaporator.

Object:

To concentrate a solution and to evaluatethe following at steady state:

Economy and the capacity of theevaporator.

Overall heat transfer co-efficient.
