In cosmetics, the most common use of acetone is in nail polish remover. Acetone is a colorless, flammable liquid that evaporates easily. It is an organic compound because carbon atoms are present in acetone's chemical formula, which is (CH3)2O.
Swenson thermal vapor recompression (TVR) evaporators use a thermocompressor to reduce the steam required per pound of evaporation. To reduce energy consumption, water vapor from an evaporator is entrained and compressed with high pressure steam in a thermocompressor so it can be condensed in the evaporator heat exchanger. The resultant pressure is intermediate to that of the motive steam and the water vapor.
1 3. EXAMPLE OF EVAPORATION PROCESS. 2  4. What is evaporators Evaporators: - An evaporator is a device used to turn the liquid form of a chemical into its gaseous form.3  The liquid is evaporated, or vaporized, into a gas. The goal of evaporation is to vaporize most of the water from a solution which contains the desired product. 2  Evaporators are widely used in the food processing industry to remove a portion of the water from food products.
