Plate MVR Evaporator (Mechanical Vapor Recompression System)
The Plate Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) Evaporator is an efficient solution for evaporation and energy recovery, utilizing plate-type heat exchangers (Plate Heat Exchangers) for superior heat transfer performance.
The MVR system separates water or liquid from solids by compressing and reusing vapor as a heat source, achieving both high efficiency and low operating cost.
1. Structure and Working Principle
Plate Heat Exchanger:
The solution is heated through thin plates that maximize surface contact, allowing rapid and efficient evaporation.
Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR):
Vapor produced from evaporation is mechanically compressed to increase its temperature and pressure.
This compressed vapor is then reused as the heating source in the heat exchanger, forming a closed-loop system that minimizes energy consumption.
2. Advantages of MVR with Plate Heat Exchangers
-
Energy Saving: Vapor is reused multiple times, significantly reducing overall energy requirements.
-
High Efficiency: Plate heat exchangers offer superior heat transfer, reducing footprint and operational costs.
-
Compact Design: Plate-type exchangers are smaller and easier to maintain than traditional tubular systems.
-
Wide Applications: Suitable for food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and wastewater industries.
3. Applications
Plate MVR Evaporators are ideal for processes that require water reduction or concentration in liquids, such as:
-
Food & Beverage: Milk, beer, and beverage concentration.
-
Water Treatment: Desalination, wastewater concentration, and water reuse.
-
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industries: Concentration of solutions and solvent recovery.
This system delivers high performance and energy savings with low operational costs, making it an excellent choice for sustainable industrial processes.
