Low Temperature Vacuum Evaporator

The low temperature vacuum evaporator mainly consists of an evaporator tank 2, evaporator heat exchanger 4, process water circulation pump 3, refrigerant compressor 8, condenser heat exchanger 7, distillate tank 11, vacuum producing venture 13, and distillate circulating pump 12. The feed water enters the evaporator tank 2, and the feed water is circulated by the pump 3 to evaporator heat exchanger 4, where the feed water is heated by high pressure refrigerant from the refrigerant compressor 8. The hot water flashes as water vapor into the evaporator tank at the top. This water vapor passes through the mist eliminator 16 and the condenser heat exchanger 7. The refrigerant from the evaporator heat exchanger passes through air cooler and expansion valve and becomes cool liquid. The cool refrigerant cools the hot water vapor to distillate. The distillate is collected in the distillate tank. The distillate is circulated by the distillate circulation pump through a venture, which produces vacuum in the evaporator tank. The vacuum produced by the venturi in the evaporation tank causes process water boils between 40 to 50 Deg. C. The concentrated process water from the evaporator tank and the distillate from the distillate tank are automatically drained by the electrical controls. All necessary controls and switch gears are part of the system.
