Heat exchangers are devices that allow heat to be transferred between two or more fluids of different temperatures (vapors, liquids, or gases). The heat transfer process can be liquid-to-gas, gas-to-gas, or liquid-to-liquid, and it can happen through a solid separator or direct fluid contact, depending on the type of heat exchanger used. Other design features, […]
You don’t need to be an expert technician to troubleshoot your plate heat exchanger (PHE). PHEs are long-lasting, however, they do occasionally have performance difficulties. Leakage outside the unit, leakage within the unit, and pressure drop are the three most common problems with PHEs. The majority of these problems are simple to identify and resolve. […]
Crystallization is the process of solid crystals precipitating from a solution, either naturally or artificially. It’s also a chemical solid-liquid separation process that involves the mass transfer of a solute from a liquid solution to a crystalline phase in the form of a solid. As a result, crystallization is a precipitation process resulting from a […]
A falling film evaporator is a type of heat exchanger that uses a shell and tube design to evaporate heat-sensitive liquids. The feed is pumped into the evaporator from the top. It’s then uniformly dispersed throughout the heating tubes of the device. While partially evaporated, the liquid flows through tubes, forming a thin layer on […]
A heat exchanger is used in furnaces to distribute warm air throughout your home. It is a critical component of your heating system, and any problems with it will not only cause your furnace to break down but also put your family’s health and safety in danger. In order to generate heat, your furnace burns […]
Food processing safety and sanitation requirements are stringent, partly because the stakes are so high. Consumers and staff alike may be in danger due to ineffective safety and sanitary standards. Maintaining high safety and sanitation standards is a continuous and sometimes difficult effort, yet failing to do so may result in liability, recalls, and significant […]
A crystallizer is processing equipment used to transform wastewater into solid crystals and pure water. Solid crystals are created from a liquid solution through crystallization, also known as a solid-liquid separation process. Liquid waste may be eliminated by crystallizers, resulting in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). Primary nucleation and secondary nucleation are the two steps in […]
Alaqua is a distillation equipment supplier along with other processing equipment such as the evaporator, crystallizer, solvent recovery systems, heat exchanger, and spray dryer. Distillation is the process of separating the components of a liquid mixture by alternating evaporation and condensation. Distillation can result in an essentially full separation, resulting in practically pure components, or […]
One of the most significant pieces of equipment in a manufacturing plant is the heat exchanger. Energy can be transferred and the manufacturing process can operate smoothly using heat exchangers. Heat exchanger operation and maintenance, however, pose possible safety risks in addition to its critical function. Unexpected occurrences may occur if such safety risks are […]
