EVAPORATOR
An evaporator is a heat exchanger that converts the sensible or latent heat of
one fluid into the latent heat of vaporization of another.

If it is used to convert water or an aqueous solution from the liquid state to the
vapor state, it is generally referred to as an evaporator.

When an evaporator is used in a cogeneration plant to produce primary or

secondary steam, it is a steam generator. Integrated in cooling equipment, it is
through the evaporation of the refrigerant that heat is withdrawn from the fluid
that one wishes to cool or from the air of an enclosure that one wants to maintain
at a low or negative temperature.

IMPORTANCE OF EVAPORATORS
As evaporators allow the transfer and removal of heat from the substance to be
cooled , they are essential for various industrial applications, especially in
refrigeration and air conditioning processes, but also in power generation and
some chemical processes like water desalination.
HEAT EXCHANGER
Heat Exchanger constitutes an integral component of thermal desalination plants.
Heat exchanger plays an immensely important role since the success of the whole
process of low-pressure evaporation and condensation depends upon the
efficiency of heat transfer.

APPLICATIONS FOR HEAT EXCHANGER

Analysis of single-effect evaporators (Thermal vapor compression)
A schematic diagram for the single-effect thermal vapor compression (TVC)
seawater desalination process is given in Fig. l . The system constitutes an
evaporator, a steam jet ejector, and a feed heater. The evaporator consists of an
evaporator/condenser-heat exchanger, a vapor space, a water distribution
system, and a mist eliminator. On the other hand, the steam jet ejector is
composed of a steam nozzle, a suction chamber, a mixing nozzle, and a diffuser.
The heater is a counter-current surface condenser in which the latent heat of the
condensing vapor is transferred to the feed seawater.
