An agitated thin-film evaporator offers several benefits that make it a preferred choice for various applications.
Discover the 4 Key Advantages of an Agitated Thin-Film Evaporator
1. Short Residence Time
The residence time of the feed liquid in an agitated thin-film evaporator is very short, usually measured in seconds to minutes.
This ensures that the raw liquid does not degrade throughout the evaporation process.
It helps to preserve the quality of the liquid.
2. High Heat Transfer Coefficients
The turbulence created by the rotor in an agitated thin-film evaporator leads to high heat transfer coefficients.
This allows for faster heat transfer.
It results in quicker evaporation.
3. Plug Flow with Minimum Back-Mixing
An agitated thin-film evaporator provides plug flow.
This means that the liquid flows as a continuous stream without mixing with previously evaporated material.
It minimizes back-mixing and ensures efficient separation of volatile compounds.
4. Preservation of Heat-Sensitive Products
The short residence time and rapid surface renewal in an agitated thin-film evaporator make it suitable for handling heat-sensitive products.
The low temperature differences between the heating media and the boiling liquid in a falling evaporator film also contribute to preserving the integrity of heat-sensitive materials.
