Rising Film Evaporator

Simple solution for concentration of liquids that are moderately heat sensitive

A Rising Film Evaporator (RFE) is a vertical shell and tube heat exchanger with a vapor – liquid separator mounted at the top.
The liquid to be concentrated is fed at the bottom of the heated tube bundle. As the liquid feed receives the heat, the vapors generated lift the liquid upwards. The velocities generated by the vapor lift are quite high, giving good thermal performance. The vapor and balance liquid are separated in the vapor- liquid separator.
