In order to determine the optimum design conditions, a large number of factors must be taken into account in order to obtain the equipment that would have an optimum relationship between evaporation performance, economy and quality of the product.
These factors can be summed up as follows:
Product characteristics, such as viscosity, density, heating capacity, thermal conductivity, boiling behavior, precipitation, foaming, etc.
Maximum admissible concentrations and operation temperatures
Thermal programs and residence times
Kilograms of live steam per kilogram of evaporated water
Water flow required for the condensation of the effluent vapors.
Electrical power versus evaporation capacity
Cost of consumed steam and energy
Cost of operation and maintenance personnel
Daily hours of production
Invested capital versus profitability
The experienced Engineering Department, which has solid technical knowledge and has been applying innovations, focused on customer’s satisfaction, carries out this task, looking for the best economy in the initial inversion and during the operation.
