EVAPORATORS

[hrzline]

 

SWENSON is an acknowledged leader in the field of evaporation. SWENSON designs include forced-circulation, long-tube vertical (both rising and falling film), and calandria-type evaporators. The economics of your particular process will dictate the evaporator style and model best suited to your needs.

 

Evaporator 3
Forced-circulation and calandria evaporators are required for processes where crystals are formed. These evaporators are designed to keep crystals suspended in solution to prevent scaling of the equipment. Long-tube vertical evaporators are used to concentrate a liquid that does not have solids present.

Evaporators require a source of heat to operate. This heat may be supplied from a boiler, gas turbine, vapor compressor, other evaporator, or a combination of sources. Multiple effect evaporators are very popular when cheap, high pressure steam is available to heat the system. A Mechanical Vapor Recompression evaporator would use electricity or a gas turbine to drive a compressor that recycles the heat in the evaporator.
