The GUNT Rising Film Evaporation Unit allows investigation of the operating behaviour of a rising film evaporator, ideal for concentrating temperature-sensitive solutions.
Product Features
- Rising film evaporator using a double pipe heat exchanger heated by steam
- Steam pressure on casing side adjusted via PID controller for precise control
- Untreated solution fed from feed tank below into the evaporator
- Cyclone separator installed after evaporator to separate evaporated solvent and concentrated solution
- Solvent vapour condensed in water-cooled condenser and collected in tank
- Concentrated solution collected in tank or recirculated to evaporator for further concentration
- Glass tanks, cyclone, and condenser for optimal observation
- Operable under vacuum to reduce boiling point of solvent
- All relevant pressures, temperatures, and flow rates measured for process monitoring and evaluation
- Cleaning system with pump and nozzles fitted in condensate and concentrate tanks for in-place cleaning
- Recommended materials for experiments: common salt and water
Benefits
- Enables detailed study of rising film evaporation for heat-sensitive solutions
- Precise process control with PID-regulated steam pressure
- Visual observation through glass components enhances educational value
- Vacuum operation allows reduced boiling temperature to protect delicate materials
