Aquarion - Evaporator

An evaporator is a device used to turn the liquid form of a chemical into its gaseous form. The liquid is evaporated, or vaporized, into a gas. There exist numerous types of evaporators like falling film evaporators, forced circulation evaporators, rising film evaporators, plate type evaporators and many others. In almost all evaporators the heating medium is steam, which heats a product on the other side of a heat transfer surface. There exist several possibilities to reduce the energy demand like TVR (thermal vapor recompression), MVR (mechanical vapor recompression) and the number of effects of the evaporation system.
