Computer Controlled Rising Film Evaporator

The Computer Controlled Rising Film Evaporator, to study the operating processes of a rising film evaporator. It allows the follow-up and monitoring from the computer of all the variables for a complete study of the process according to the working conditions and to investigate the effects of the variation of parameters of the process such as: vacuum, temperature, flow, etc in the ascending film evaporation.
