MVR Evaporators

MVR evaporators use Mechanical Vapour Recompression to recompress all of the vapour from the vapour separator to heat the first stage.


Process
The evaporated vapour passes through a compressor or high pressure fan where the pressure of the vapour is increased by a factor of 1.2 to 2.0. The increased pressure of the vapour enables it to provide the energy and temperature difference required for evaporation.

Applications
MVR evaporators with fans are prevalent within the food industry. The MVR evaporator is often applied as a pre-concentrator followed by a finisher.
