The Computer Controlled Double Effect Rising Film Evaporator, allows to observe and control a serial, parallel or double effect evaporation process.
Technical Specifications
ATENG 10790 — Computer Controlled Double Effect Rising Film Evaporator
(for main items)
With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Optional items: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
1EDPAC. Unit:
Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
The unit includes wheels to facilitate its mobility.
Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
Three diagrams in the front panel with distribution of the
elements similar to the real one, with the three possible
configurations.
Two evaporation double jacket columns, with a heating area
of 0.122 m², 30 mm of inner diameter, 60 mm of outer
diameter and length of 1300 mm.
Two membrane dosing pumps, computer controlled, with
maximum flow of 15 l/h with flow control.
Simple effect vacuum pump, computer controlled, with
maximum flow of 3 mÂł/h and maximum vacuum of 150
microns.
Five tanks, capacity: 10 l (for feeding, concentrated and
evaporated).
Four graduated vessels for storage of concentrated and
evaporated product, capacity: 500 ml.
Computer controlled Immersion heating element, range:
300 W.
Included a safety temperature sensor with internal
temperature controller.
Automatic temperature control (PID Control). Unit: ATENG 10790
Two coil coolants with length of 400 mm.
Two high safety pressure cut out for pressure control in the columns.
Thirteen temperature sensors, “J” type.
Flow sensor, range: 0.2 – 6.5 l/min.
Two pressure sensors, range: 0 – 2 bar.
Five force sensors, one in each one of the five tanks (for feeding, concentrated and evaporated), for
measuring the amount of fed or collected substance.
Two solenoid valves, computer controlled.
The unit allows to work with several configurations:
a) Double-effect: the steam generated in the first stage of the evaporation is introduced in the second
column.
b) Steam from the first column´s jacket can be used to heat the second column.
c) Columns receive steam from the generator in an independent way.
The complete unit includes as well:
Advanced Real-Time SCADA and PID Control.
Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
are always included.
Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
operate many units in a network.
