Product Description

Description

MVR Evaporation plant delivers substantial operational cost savings in areas with an ample supply of low-cost electrical energy.

Once an MVR evaporation plant is running, little or no additional steam is required. In the MVR evaporation plant, a centrifugal fan is used to recompress the vapour to a higher pressure, resulting in a temperature rise. This means that the recompressed vapour can be used as the evaporation plant heating medium, while the condensate is ideal for preheating of the feed product.

For low boiling point increases, a single-stage compressor can be used to fulfill the requirements of the design.

For high boiling point increases, we will provide two designs: multiple-stage compressors, single stage compressors combined with multiple-effect.

The MVR evaporation plant almost doesn't use steam, but electric energy is required as the main energy source.

The power consumption of the main motor of MVR is due to the heat exchange area and the evaporating temperature of the evaporation plant. The Heat exchange area is bigger, and as a result, power consumption is lower, but the investment in equipment is increased.

Evaporating temperature is higher and as a result, power consumption is lower, but fouling in the calandria is therefore increased; Evaporating temperature is lower and as a result, power consumption is higher.

MVR can be powered by an electric motor, the rotary speed of an MVR can be controlled by a frequency converter, and the rotary speed of an MVR may control the evaporation rate and final concentration of the MVR evaporation plant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q What is an MVR evaporation plant and how does it work?
An MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) evaporation plant uses a centrifugal fan to recompress the evaporated vapour to a higher pressure, which raises its temperature. This recompressed vapour is then recycled as the heating medium for the evaporation process, significantly reducing the need for external steam and lowering overall energy costs.
Q What are the main energy advantages of an MVR evaporation plant over a multiple-effect evaporation plant?
MVR evaporation plants consume only 18–26 Kw of electric power per ton of water evaporated, compared to 0.16–0.6 tons of steam for multiple-effect plants. In a practical example with a 50 T/h evaporation rate, an MVR plant can save approximately 7,680,000 RMB per year in energy costs compared to a 4-effect evaporation plant.
Q Which industries are best suited for MVR evaporation plants?
MVR evaporation plants are particularly well-suited for the food and beverages industry (evaporation of milk, whey, and sugar solutions), the chemical industry (evaporation of aqueous solutions), the salt works industry (evaporation of saline solutions), and environmental protection applications such as concentration of wastewater.
Q How does evaporating temperature affect the power consumption of an MVR system?
Higher evaporating temperatures result in lower power consumption, but they also increase fouling in the calandria. Conversely, lower evaporating temperatures reduce fouling but increase power consumption. The heat exchange area also plays a role — a larger area reduces power consumption but increases equipment investment costs.
Q Can the MVR evaporation rate be controlled, and how?
Yes. The MVR is powered by an electric motor, and its rotary speed can be precisely controlled using a frequency converter. By adjusting the rotary speed of the MVR, operators can effectively control both the evaporation rate and the final concentration of the product in the evaporation plant.
Q What information is needed to select the right type of evaporation plant?
Selecting the right evaporation plant requires detailed information across several categories: capacity and operation data (product name, feeding/final concentration, evaporation rate), product properties (viscosity, foaming tendency, boiling point), utility requirements (steam pressure, cooling water temperature, electricity pricing), waste heat parameters, material selection criteria, and energy efficiency comparison between multiple-effect, TVR, MVR, and waste heat evaporation plant types.
