Operating Parameters and the Reuse of Heat in Industrial Evaporators
The 3 kEys
- Adjusting steam pressure to the minimum required level, while maintaining the desired evaporation rate, can substantially reduce energy usage.
- Excessive temperatures beyond what is necessary for effective evaporation result in wasted energy.
- Simple adjustments such as redirecting hot condensate for preheating feedwater can reduce the energy required to bring incoming fluid to the target temperature.
Industrial evaporators are critical to many manufacturing processes, particularly in food processing, chemical production, and wastewater treatment. But in that they consume substantial amounts of energy to remove water and concentrate solutions, they are a prime opportunity for energy efficiency improvements.
By focusing on process optimization, routine maintenance, and operational adjustments, substantial energy savings can be achieved while improving system performance.
