Description

For the thermal separation of a mixture a thin film is produced at the heated wall of a cylindrical or conical evaporator. A distribution ring on the rotor distributes the liquid evenly across the periphery. Then, the blades fitted at the rotor spread the liquid as a thin film of min. 0.5 mm over the heat transfer surface. The model concept for the flow in the thin film evaporator assumes that prior to each rotor blade a bow wave is formed. In the gap between the rotor blade and the heating surface, fluid is supplied from the bow wave of a highly turbulent area with intense heat and mass transport. This results in a good heat transfer performance even with viscous products. In addition, the formation of deposits is avoided and the intensive mixing also protects temperature-sensitive products from overheating.
