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.

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 ...
In many cases, the tubes of a rising film evaporator are usually between 3–10 metres (9.8–32.8 ft) in height with a diameter of between 25–50 millimetres (0.98–1.97 in). Sizing this type of evaporator requires a precise evaluation of the actual level of the liquid inside the tubes and the flow rates of the vapor and film.
No refrigeration unit is needed for the storage vessel because the liquid oxygen remains cold due to the efficiency of the vacuum container and the loss of latent heat as oxygen vaporizes. Nevertheless, if no oxygen is used the temperature of the storage vessel gradually rises until after about a week the oxygen pressure causes excess oxygen to ...
The liquid entering the circulation evaporator will boil in the separator, not on a heating surface, hence minimising fouling, whereas with plate evaporators, boiling will occur on a heating surface. [15] It is for this reason that circulation evaporators are preferred for liquids with a higher tendency to foul.
An MVR unit will be preferable for a large unit, thanks to the reduced energy consumption. The largest single body MVR evaporator built (1968, by Whiting Co., later Swenson Evaporator Co., Harvey, Ill. in Cirò Marina , Italy ) was a salt crystallizer , evaporating approximately 400 metric tons per hour of water, featuring an axial-flow ...
Rising Film Evaporator Diagram. A rising film or vertical long tube evaporator is a type of evaporator that is essentially a vertical shell and tube heat exchanger. The liquid being evaporated is fed from the bottom into long tubes and heated with steam condensing on the outside of the tube from the shell side.
