Parameter | Typical Range* |
---|---|
Operation | Continuous, vacuum duty |
Film ΔT | Low (design-dependent) for gentle evaporation |
Steam economy | SE ~1.0 (single effect); higher with TVR/MVR |
Viscosity window | Low to medium-high; wide channels improve tolerance |
Materials | SS304 standard; SS316L/duplex/Ti optional |
When choose pillow plate over shell-and-tube?
Pillow plates offer compact area, wide channels, and easy modular scaling--ideal for moderate fouling and hygienic duties.
Can the unit be upgraded to MVR later?
Yes. The pillow plate body can integrate TVR initially and be upgraded to MVR to further reduce specific energy use.
Is SS304 sufficient for chloride service?
For elevated chlorides or aggressive chemistry, we recommend SS316L/duplex or Ti for improved corrosion resistance.
