Evaporator water evaporation amount
Thread Content
There is a set of evaporators with 5 falling film effect stages and 3 levels of flashing; the total heating area is 8100 m2, and the designed steam production capacity is 150 t/h. Now, with an additional 2450 m2 of falling film area, the total heating area becomes 10550 m2. Will the evaporation capacity of this set of evaporators increase or decrease? If it is increased or decreased, by about how much (experience values are also fine)?
Was this designed by you guys or by the equipment manufacturer?
Our company has extensive experience in falling film design. I was wondering what the progress is on your current project
The heating area has increased, and under normal circumstances, the steam generation capacity must have increased as well. However, how much to increase can only be determined with specific process conditions.
Increasing the steam efficiency will definitely result in lower steam consumption; the amount of steam used will surely be less. I don’t think the amount of water used for steaming will necessarily increase
