A thin film evaporator deposits thin layers of atoms or molecules onto a substrate material by evaporating or sublimating various elements. There are two main types of evaporation: resistive and electron beam. Resistive evaporation involves passing an electric current through a target material, while electron beam evaporation directs a beam of high-energy electrons at the […]
Evaporators separate solvents from mixtures, often used to obtain water from saline water or isolate solids. They are used in materials science, chemical and food production, and can concentrate and purify solutions to limit finished product volume. Different types include air, vacuum, and refrigerated evaporators. Viscosity, scaling, foam, and corrosion can be problems. Evaporators are […]
Falling film evaporators are used to concentrate temperature-sensitive substances in various industries. The liquid flows down the walls of heating pipes, evaporates without direct contact with vapor, and is collected via a separator. They are commonly used in the dairy and food industries, but require careful design to prevent scale and dry patches. The system […]
