China Suppliers Factory of High-Efficiency Falling Film Evaporation Plant for Heat-Sensitive Liquids

,

Discover the efficiency of our falling film evaporator, a cutting-edge solution designed for concentrating heat-sensitive liquids in the heart of China. This innovative technology allows the feed liquid to form a thin film that flows down specially heated vertical tubes, enabling partial evaporation while maintaining product integrity. The generated vapor flows parallel to the liquid, enhancing the overall evaporation process. With a short residence time and low operating temperatures, our evaporator preserves the quality of sensitive products. As a leading supplier and factory in the industry, we emphasize the importance of proper liquid distribution and complete surface wetting to prevent fouling, ensuring high thermal efficiency and operational stability. Trust our expertise to meet your processing needs with precision and reliability.

    Description

    The liquid feed is introduced at the top of the calandria, where a distribution system ensures the formation of a uniform liquid film along the inner walls of the heating tubes. As the film flows downward under gravity, it is heated externally and begins to boil, partially evaporating along its path. The downward flow is further promoted by the co-current flow of vapor generated during boiling.
    Separation of the remaining liquid film and vapor takes place in the lower section of the calandria and is completed in a downstream centrifugal droplet separator. To prevent dry spots—which can cause fouling and deposit accumulation—it is critical to maintain complete and even wetting of the entire heating surface. This can be achieved by using longer heating tubes, dividing the evaporator into multiple compartments, or implementing product recirculation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does a falling film evaporator work?

    The liquid feed is introduced at the top of the calandria, where a distribution system forms a uniform liquid film along the inner walls of the heating tubes. As the film flows downward under gravity, it is heated externally, boils, and partially evaporates. The remaining liquid and generated vapor are then separated at the lower section of the calandria and in a downstream centrifugal droplet separator.

    How do you prevent dry spots and fouling in the evaporator?

    To prevent dry spots that cause fouling and deposit accumulation, complete and even wetting of the heating surface is critical. This is achieved by using longer heating tubes, dividing the evaporator into multiple compartments, or implementing product recirculation.

    Which products are best suited for falling film evaporation?

    They are particularly suited for temperature-sensitive products such as dairy products, fruit juices, plant extracts, sugar, and blood plasma. They are also ideal for liquids containing small quantities of solids with a low to moderate tendency to form incrustations.

    What energy-efficient options does Zongheng offer?

    Zongheng integrates multi-effect evaporation, thermal vapour recompression (TVR), and mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) systems to significantly reduce energy consumption and overall operational costs.
