  2. Falling film evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_film_evaporator

    Falling film evaporators have a number of advantages over their flooded evaporator counterparts. They require a lower charge, as the entire shell (in the case of horizontal evaporators) or all the tubes (in the case of a vertical evaporator) need not be filled with liquid as a thin film is now used to cover the surfaces.

  3. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    An industrial evaporator used in a chemical plant in Turkey. An evaporator is a type of heat exchanger device that facilitates evaporation by utilizing conductive and convective heat transfer, which provides the necessary thermal energy for phase transition from liquid to vapour. Within evaporators, a circulating liquid is exposed to an ...

  4. Climbing and falling film plate evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_and_Falling_Film...

    A climbing/falling film plate evaporator is a specialized type of evaporator in which a thin film of liquid is passed over a rising and falling plate to allow the evaporation process to occur. It is an extension of the falling film evaporator , and has application in any field where the liquid to be evaporated cannot withstand extended exposure ...

  5. Multiple-effect evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_evaporator

    diagram of a double-effect falling film evaporator. Condensing vapors from flash tank B1 heat evaporator A2. •1=feed •2=product •3=steam •4=vapors. In chemical engineering, a multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water. [1]

  6. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    The water quality of evaporators is four times better which is needed for the drum boilers. The evaporators, when coupled with standard drum boilers, produce steam which is more "reliable, less costly to operate, and less water-intensive." By 2008 about 85 per cent of SAGD facilities in the Alberta oil sands had adopted evaporative technology.

  7. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve or thermostatic expansion valve (often abbreviated as TEV, TXV, or TX valve) is a component in vapor-compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems that controls the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator and is intended to regulate the superheat of the refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator ...

  8. Evaporation (deposition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation_(deposition)

    Purity of the deposited film depends on the quality of the vacuum, and on the purity of the source material. At a given vacuum pressure the film purity will be higher at higher deposition rates as this minimises the relative rate of gaseous impurity inclusion. The thickness of the film will vary due to the geometry of the evaporation chamber.

  9. Vapor-compression refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression...

    A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.
