General process flow for chemical evaporation and concentration – Discussion on local design

Thread Content

Hello everyone, in such general process flows, it usually consists of a concentration tank/evaporation kettle + condenser + water ring vacuum pump； However, since this process is carried out in a batch manner, taking water evaporation as an example: assuming that the heating temperature inside the evaporation tank reaches 100°C and 2 tons of water need to be evaporated, with the entire process taking 2 hours, and given that the area of the condenser is sufficient, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water are set at 30/35, while the pressure is 0.3 MPaG ； How to choose the size of the water ring vacuum pump and the condenser? What is needed here is an optimal design, the matching issue between the vacuum pump and the condenser, as well as energy consumption, etc. I would appreciate it if experts from various fields could provide some ideas or guidance. Thank you.
