Product introduction
Low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment is an efficient equipment for liquid concentration processes, especially suitable for handling heat sensitive materials. The device uses a film distribution device to form a film flow in a vertical tubular heat exchanger to achieve efficient heat transfer and evaporation. Before the material enters the heat exchange tube from the top, it will form a uniform liquid film through the film distributor, and the water will be evaporated during the top-down flow process to achieve the concentration effect.
Low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment
Low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment is mainly composed of heater, separator, preheater, condenser and other core components as well as liquid distribution device (film distributor), feed liquid pump group and other auxiliary equipment.
Characteristics of low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment
High thermal efficiency: the material flows in the form of film, which increases the heat transfer area and improves the thermal efficiency.
Strong adaptability: suitable for evaporation of high viscosity liquids.
Short heating time: Retention of nutrients and flavor in foods and other heat-sensitive materials.

Low temperature differential evaporation: Evaporates at a lower temperature differential to reduce the risk of thermal decomposition.
Good safety: negative pressure operation, high safety performance.
Large processing capacity: can handle high concentration, high viscosity materials.
Short residence time: reduce material deterioration and protect heat-sensitive substances.
Low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment application field
Low temperature evaporation and concentration equipment is widely used in the industrial field, especially in the following aspects:
Food industry: Suitable for the concentration of dairy products, juice, honey and other foods, which can be evaporated at a lower temperature to preserve the original flavor and nutrition of the food.
Chemical industry: Plays a key role in key steps in the production of chemical products such as solvent recovery, waste liquid treatment and chemical concentration.
Process flow
The process flow of the falling film evaporator mainly includes the following steps:
Liquid distribution: The raw liquid is pumped into the upper tube box of the heating chamber of the falling film evaporator, and then evenly distributed to each heat exchange tube through the liquid distribution and film forming device.
Film flow: Under the action of gravity, vacuum induction and airflow, the feed liquid forms a uniform liquid film on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube and flows from top to bottom.
Heating and vaporization: During the flow process, the feed liquid is heated and vaporized by the shell-side heating medium, and the generated steam and liquid phase enter the separation chamber of the evaporator together.
Gas-liquid separation: In the separation chamber, the steam and the concentrated liquid are separated, the concentrated liquid is discharged from the bottom, and the steam can be sent to the condenser for condensation or used as the heating medium of the next evaporator.
Technical principle of
The core principle of falling film evaporator technology is that the material liquid forms a film-like flow along the inner wall of the heating tube under the action of gravity and vacuum and is evaporated and concentrated. Its working process mainly includes the following steps:
Liquid distribution: The raw material liquid is evenly distributed on the inner wall of the heating tube through the liquid distribution device to form a thin liquid film.
Heat exchange: The inner wall is usually made of thermal conductive material, and the heat source provided by the outside increases the surface temperature of the inner wall to higher than the boiling point of the liquid, thus promoting the rapid heat transfer of the liquid to the tube wall and evaporation.
Evaporation and concentration: During the flow process, due to the existence of temperature difference, the liquid film evaporates rapidly on the tube wall and is converted into steam. At the same time, the solute substance is enriched in the remaining liquid to achieve the effect of concentration.
Gas-liquid separation: The generated vapor-liquid mixture enters the separation chamber from the bottom of the heating tube, and after the gas-liquid separation, the concentrated liquid is discharged from the bottom of the separator to complete the evaporation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When the falling film evaporator runs, the liquid distribution is not uniform how to do?
A: This may be due to improper design or adjustment of the liquid distributor. The film distributor needs to be checked and adjusted to ensure that it distributes the liquid evenly on the wall of the heating tube.
Q: How to deal with the scaling problem of falling film evaporator heating pipe?
A: Regular cleaning of heating pipes is a common way to deal with scaling. According to the nature of the feed liquid, choose the appropriate cleaning agent and cleaning cycle to ensure the heat transfer effect of the heating tube.
Q: Is falling film evaporator suitable for handling high viscosity solution?
A: Yes, falling film evaporators are particularly suitable for handling high-viscosity solutions, because the material liquid forms a film-like flow on the inner wall of the heating tube, which is conducive to heat transfer and evaporation.
Q: If the raw material liquid contains solid particles, what will be the impact on the falling film evaporator?
A: The solid particles in the raw material liquid may cause wear on the inner wall of the heating pipe, and long-term operation may lead to pipe leakage. It is necessary to pretreat the heating tube to remove particles or select a wear-resistant material.
Q: How to control the concentration of the solution during the operation of the falling film evaporator?
A: By monitoring the temperature and amount of secondary steam, as well as the rate and concentration of liquid output, the operating parameters of the falling film evaporator can be adjusted to control the concentration of the solution.
