The liquid feed moves on the "hot" inner walls in an evaporator. Heat is continuously transferred from the outside of the wall to the inside, thereby heating up the liquid to the boiling point where water evaporates from the liquid feed.

Liquid distribution
One of the most important issues influencing the effectiveness of the evaporation is the distribution of the liquid on the inner walls. To make the evaporation effective the liquid film on the inner walls should be as thin as possible. However, if the film is too thin, the product will burn on the walls, therefore it is very important to be able to control the thickness of the film also known as "the wetting rate".

The product to be concentrated is separated from the heating medium by a tube wall, or a flat curved plate.
The typical heating medium is steam or vapour.
The system can be evacuated in order to lower the boiling temperature.
The evaporated vapour can be reused as heating medium often in combination with either mechanical or thermal recompression. (Regeneration)
The principles of evaporation
![Page 7: Introduction to evaporation Food1040 module Malcolm Povey University of Leeds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649db25503460f94aa1d87/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The laboratory CFE
Heat and mass transfer are connected

Heat transfer in a CFE
q ~(θs - θp) More specifically :- Equation 1 q = U.A. (θs - θp) = U.A. Δθ Where A = heat exchange area = 0.251 m2 U = overall heat transfer coefficient θs = average steam temperature in the calandria jacket θp = product temperature at boiling point (boiling set point)

As evaporation is a very energy consuming process, the availability and relative cost of energy determine the design of the evaporation plant.Normally an evaporation plant is designed to use the energy as efficiently as possible by using more than one effect.Therefore the following technical solutions are used in order to keep the temperature of the steam high enough to run the process:
Energy consumption
![Page 10: Introduction to evaporation Food1040 module Malcolm Povey University of Leeds](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649db25503460f94aa1d87/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
•Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR)
•Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) or
•combination of both
Shown below is a figure illustrating the relation between the number of effects and energy consumption under standard conditions for a typical product.
Furthermore, the figure also shows a rough correlation between steam and electrical energy consumption per kg water evaporated, allowing the customer to estimate, whether the price of electric power in his local area justifies the use of MVR instead of TVR.
