Natural Language Definition
EN
An evaporator is a heat exchanger specifically designed to evaporate moisture or solvents from a liquid or slurry process stream by transferring heat from an external heating medium, producing a vapour stream and a concentrated remaining liquid.
PT-BR
Um evaporador é um trocador de calor projetado especificamente para evaporar umidade ou solventes de uma corrente de processo líquida ou pastosa, transferindo calor de um meio de aquecimento externo, produzindo uma corrente de vapor e um líquido restante concentrado.

Process Participation Signature ⟨I, O, T⟩
Inputs (I)
LiquidOrSlurryPortion
— process fluid containing moisture or solvents to be evaporated
HeatPortion
— thermal energy from heating medium such as steam, hot oil, or combustion gases
Outputs (O)
VapourPortion
— evaporated solvent or moisture in vapour phase
ConcentratedFluidPortion
— remaining liquid with reduced solvent content, higher concentration of solutes
Transformation (T)
liquid-to-vapour phase change of moisture or solvent driven by heat transfer from an external heating medium
The evaporator uses heat transfer to drive evaporation of solvents or water from a process stream, producing a concentrated product and a vapour stream; the transformation is the reverse of condensation.
