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
