Baffles mixing Vapors formed are disengaged into VAPOR DIDENGAGEMENT SPACE Condensate withdrawn at the bottom Non condensable gas is vented out Also called Calendria type evaporator ADVANTAGES Used to separate water and salts in sea water(DESALANATION) Used in liquid food preservation.
ADVANTAGES Very low head room requirements High heat transfer coefficient DISADVANTAGE Not suitable for viscous liquids
Evaporator accessories
1. Condensers
Two types:
surface condensers:
The vapor to be condensed and cooling medium SEPARATED BY METAL WALL
contact condensers:
They are MIXED directly
WET CONDENSOR : non- condensed gases & Cooling water are removed by the same pump
DRY : non- condensed gases & Cooling water are removed by the separate pump BAROMETRIC : Placed high enough so that water escapes from it by a barometric leg LOW LEVEL CONDENSER: water is removed by a pump.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
EVAPORARTOR BODY : fabricated from mild steel ( less expensive) To PREVENT CORROSION : monel, inconel and stainless steel are used. TUBES : Copper, stainless steel. TUBE SHEETS : bronze, nickel clad steel or stainless steel
