Title: Improving evaporators for crystallizing solutions

Journal Article · · Chem. Pet. Eng. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6125090

The authors describe and evaluate the new evaporators with forced circulation and a heat exchange surface of 630 m that have recently been introduced for the production of calcium chloride from still wastes in soda plants. A diagram illustrates the construction of the new apparatus and charts present data on the dependence of heat transfer on the thickness of the walls of the heating pipes, the dependence of the entrainment of calcium chloride by secondary steam on the level of the solution in the vacuum aparatus, and on the performance of the evaporator over time.
