Condenser, evaporator

This type of plate heat exchanger - condensers is intended for condensation of vapors at low pressure, up to vacuum, has become widespread with various processes of distillation and evaporation of media. In turn, such heat exchangers - evaporators, are used as evaporation plants, for example, in sugar factories, where sugar syrup is evaporated using condensing steam.

The advantages of plate condensers and evaporators:

• Suitable for various processes in the chemical and food industries.
• High operating efficiency over the entire load range.
• Compactness and economy of useful space.
• Possibility of mechanical cleaning of channels.

Steam is supplied to the large-diameter branch pipe of the condenser, which needs to be condensed, a cooling coolant is directed to the adjacent channel, due to the temperature difference, the steam is cooled, condensed and removed from the lower branch pipe of a smaller diameter. The evaporator operates in the opposite order, a liquid that requires evaporation is supplied to the lower branch pipe, heating steam or other heat carrier of a higher temperature enters the upper branch pipe. The liquid heats up and the process of evaporation begins from the upper pipe of the larger diameter.
