Description

UFS Thin-Film Evaporation Pilot Plant Teaching Education Equipment for School Lab Chemical Engineering

This evaporator consists of a cylindrical tube provided with a steam heating jacket and with a three-blade inner rotor that produces a very thin film of liquid on the walls.

TRAINING PROGRAM

This unit enables to deepen the following issues:

• Mass balances
• Energy balances
• Determination of overall heat transfer coefficient
• Optimization of evaporation process
