Overview
An External Circulating Evaporator is a heat exchange unit designed for efficient liquid concentration. Constructed from stainless steel 316L compliant with ASME standards, it features an external circulation loop to minimize scaling and enhance thermal efficiency in continuous industrial processes.
Application
- Chemical Processing: Concentrating corrosive acids and alkalis.
- Food & Beverage: Evaporating fruit juices and dairy products under vacuum.
- Pharmaceuticals: Sterile solvent recovery and active ingredient concentration.
- Wastewater Treatment: Reducing volume of industrial effluent prior to discharge.
Precautions
- Ensure strict temperature control to prevent material degradation or seal failure.
- Implement regular CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles to maintain hygiene and flow rates.
- Schedule periodic inspection of gaskets and heating tubes based on operational hours.
- Maintain proper grounding and pressure relief protocols during startup and shutdown.
