Force Circulation MEE Evaporator

Forced Circulation Multiple Effect Evaporator (FC MEE)

The Forced Circulation Multiple Effect Evaporator (FC MEE) is an advanced evaporation system that integrates forced circulation and multiple-effect evaporation technologies.
It is widely used in industrial applications that require efficient solution evaporation, energy savings, and the ability to handle high-viscosity or scaling-prone liquids.

1. Working Principle

In the forced circulation process, the liquid is pumped at high velocity through heat exchanger tubes by a powerful circulation pump, which enhances heat transfer efficiency.
Evaporation occurs as the heated liquid reaches its boiling point, and the generated vapor is directed to a condenser for condensation and recovery.

In the multiple-effect evaporation (MEE) process, thermal energy is reused from one effect to the next. The vapor produced in the first effect serves as the heating source for the subsequent stage, reducing overall energy consumption.
This heat recovery process makes the FC MEE system highly energy-efficient compared to single-effect evaporators.

2. Forced Circulation Technology

Unlike natural circulation systems, the forced circulation design continuously pumps the solution through the heat exchanger at high flow rates.
This ensures uniform liquid distribution, prevents fouling or scaling on heat surfaces, and maintains stable operation even with viscous or corrosive solutions.
