Working Principle
The Open Pan Evaporator operates on the principle of steam heating and solvent evaporation:
-
A solution is poured into the jacketed stainless-steel pan.
-
Steam from the electrically heated generator enters the pan jacket through a control valve.
-
Heat is transferred from the steam to the solution, causing the solvent to evaporate.
-
The condensate from the steam is collected via a steam trap for energy measurement and efficiency analysis.
-
Tilting of the pan is achieved through a worm gear mechanism, allowing easy removal of concentrated solution.
This setup enables the study of overall heat transfer coefficients under unsteady-state conditions and heat transfer at the boiling point, making it suitable for academic and industrial applications.
