Evaporators

Rising Film
Evaporator

Vertical tube evaporator where liquid and vapour rise together in a climbing film. Suited for non-viscous, non-scaling feeds requiring moderate concentration with continuous operation.

Rising Film Evaporator — Gausin International Engineers
Climbing Film
Low Viscosity

Product Overview

The Gausin Rising Film Evaporator (RFE) operates with liquid and vapour flowing upward inside vertical tubes, creating a rising or climbing film on the tube walls driven by the vapour lift effect.

This configuration offers good heat transfer for low to medium viscosity feeds such as sugar solutions, caustic soda, and food liquors. It is not recommended for highly viscous or heavily scaling products.

Gausin RFE units are designed with optimized tube length (3 to 9 m), calibrated feed distribution, and vacuum systems for energy-efficient operation. Optional Thermo Vapour Recompressor (TVR) integration compresses effect vapour for reuse as heating steam, improving steam economy on multi-effect plants.

Rising Film
Liquid and vapour rise together for efficient heat and mass transfer.
Long Tubes
Tube lengths from 3 to 9 m for high evaporation rates per pass.
Low Hold-Up
Suitable for continuous concentration of clear process liquors.
Vapour Lift
Generated vapour assists liquid movement up the tubes.
Multi-Effect
Available in double and triple effect for steam savings.
Thermo Vapour Recompressor (TVR)
Optional TVR uses motive steam in a steam jet ejector to compress low-pressure vapour for reuse as heating medium, reducing live steam consumption.
Automated Control
PLC-based control of feed, vacuum, and product discharge.

How It Works

1
Feed Entry
Preheated feed enters the bottom of the vertical tube bundle.
2
Vapour Generation
Steam heating causes partial evaporation; vapour bubbles lift the liquid film upward.
3
Climbing Film
Liquid travels up tube walls as a thin film with rising vapour core.
4
Separation
Mixture exits tubes into separator where vapour and concentrate are split.
5
Vapour Utilization
Secondary vapour used in next effect or condensed; product discharged continuously.
6
Thermo Vapour Recompressor (TVR)
Where TVR is installed, motive steam drives a steam jet ejector that compresses low-pressure vapour from an effect, raising its pressure and temperature. The compressed vapour returns as heating steam to the same or a preceding effect, reducing live steam demand on rising film multi-effect trains.
