  • The plate evaporator is an evaporation device that uses metal plates instead of round tubes as heat transfer elements. It employs a diversion channel with a corrugated plate structure to uniformly distribute the flow of the medium and adopts a countercurrent heat exchange form to fully exploit the heat exchange efficiency of the plate evaporator. The material and steam channels are alternately combined by the same plates through sealing gaskets or welding.

    The product and heating medium flow in a countercurrent direction within their respective channels. The appropriate distance between plates and special plate shapes generate intense turbulence, resulting in ideal heat transfer. The intense heat transfer causes the product to boil, and the generated steam drives the residual liquid to form an upward-climbing liquid film that enters the steam channel of the plate assembly. The residue and steam are separated in the separator of the next stage. The wide inlet channel and upward movement ensure an ideal distribution across the entire cross-section of the heat exchanger.

    Plate rising film evaporator Process Description

    Preheating

    The raw liquid first enters a preheater to reach a state close to the evaporation temperature.

    Evaporation

    After preheating, the raw liquid enters the channels between the plates of the plate evaporator, where it undergoes heat exchange with high-temperature steam from a compressor or an external heat source. During this heat exchange process, the raw liquid is heated and evaporates, forming a vapor-liquid mixture.

    Vapor-Liquid Separation

    The vapor-liquid mixture is discharged from the outlet of the plate evaporator and enters a vapor-liquid separator. In the separator, the mixture is separated into concentrated material and secondary steam.

    Utilization of Secondary Steam

    The secondary steam is captured and compressed by a compressor, increasing its pressure and temperature. It is then reused as heating steam in the evaporation process, realizing the recycling of thermal energy (in MVR plate evaporators). Alternatively, the secondary steam can be exported for use in other processes or for energy recovery (in non-MVR plate evaporators).

    Output of Concentrated Material

    The concentrated material is discharged from the bottom of the vapor-liquid separator and can undergo subsequent processing or storage as needed.

    Plate evaporators offer advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency, low energy consumption, resistance to fouling, ease of maintenance, and safety and reliability. Their corrugated plate design promotes turbulence, enhancing heat transfer efficiency, and they feature a compact structure with minimal heat loss. They are resistant to fouling and clogging, and their modular design facilitates expansion and maintenance. The sealing structure ensures safe operation.
