The WZ series external circulation evaporator is a natural circulation type evaporator that operates in a vacuum system. The following is its specific introduction:
1. Structural composition
It is mainly composed of tubular heaters, evaporation tanks, circulation pipes, and other ancillary equipment. Some are also equipped with condensers, coolers, liquid receiving drums, etc., and may also have gas-liquid separators, liquid traps, etc.
2. Working principle
The liquid is sucked in by vacuum and heated to boiling point inside the heater tube. Part of the water vaporizes, converting thermal energy into upward kinetic energy. Meanwhile, due to the significant difference in density between the gas-liquid mixture inside the heating tube and the non boiling liquid in the circulation tube, natural circulation of the liquid is induced by the expansion kinetic energy and density difference. The more heat the liquid receives, the more intense the boiling, and the faster its circulation speed. The secondary steam evaporated is collected by a wire mesh demister and a liquid trap, and then condensed by the water spray of a hydraulic jet pump before being carried away. After centrifugal rotation, the liquid in the evaporator returns to the lower part of the heater along the outer circulation pipe for recirculation heating and evaporation.
3. Product specifications
There are one effect, two effect, and three effect series specifications, such as WZI-5000, 3000, 2000, 1500, 1000, 500, and 250; WZII-5000、3000、2000、1000; WZIII-5000、 3000, 2000, 1000, 500, etc.
4. Performance characteristics
Prevent material contamination: All parts in contact with materials are made of stainless steel material.
Good vapor liquid separation effect: two-stage separation and trapping methods are adopted, including the use of centrifugal force and sedimentation in the evaporation tank when the vapor liquid tangent enters the evaporation tank, the use of an air filter screen layer on the top of the evaporator, and the addition of an impact liquid trap, which can effectively prevent the feed liquid from being entrained by the secondary steam, and can also achieve good separation effect for the feed liquid that is prone to foam.
Easy to clean: A quick opening top cover is installed on the top of the heater, a circular spray cleaning water pipe is installed on the upper part of the air filter screen in the evaporator tank, and a manhole is provided on the evaporator tank body for cleaning the inner wall of the tank.
Easy to observe: Light holes and mirrors are installed on the top of the heater and evaporator.
High concentration ratio and less prone to scaling: Compared with commonly used domestic rising film, falling film, and rising falling film evaporators, the WZ type belongs to the circulation type evaporator, with a high concentration ratio of the feed liquid and less prone to scaling inside the tube.
5. Application Fields
Widely used for evaporation, recovery, and concentration of aqueous or organic solutions in industries such as medicine, food, chemical, light industry, and petrochemicals, especially suitable for thermosensitive materials such as water and alcohol extracts in traditional Chinese medicine production, antibiotic fermentation broth, milk, fruit juice, etc., low-temperature continuous concentration under vacuum conditions can ensure product quality.
