Alaqua - Plate Evaporators
FromAlaqua
Instead of tube and shell heat exchangers, framed plates can be used as an heating surface. These plate assemblies are similar to plate heat exchangers, but are equipped with large passages for the vapor flow. In these units a product plate and a steam plate are connected alternately. The product passage is designed for even distribution of liquid on the plate surfaces and low pressure drop in the vapor phase.

- Plate evaporators are of compact design. Separators are connected to the plate packages with short interconnecting pipe-work. Thus, space requirements are low and the height normally does not exceed 20 to 25 ft (6-8 meters). This means that plate evaporators can be installed in most buildings.
- Since the plate package can be opened easily, surfaces can be inspected, individual plates changed if necessary, and the evaporation rate can be altered by adding or removing individual plates. The units can be designed to meet USDA Dairy sanitary requirements.
