The Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporation system is a vacuum-based machine designed for concentrating and crystallizing high-salinity or heat-sensitive solutions. By mechanically compressing secondary vapor and recycling it as the heating medium, the system delivers exceptional energy efficiency, low operating costs, and continuous stable performance.
Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, environmental, and salt industries, the MVR vacuum evaporator is ideal for:
Vapor Recompression: Secondary vapor is mechanically compressed, raising its temperature and reusing latent heat as the primary heating source.
Vacuum Operation: Maintains low boiling points to improve thermal economy and protect sensitive materials.
Mechanical Reliability: Features robust turbo/Roots compressors with VFD control for high efficiency and load flexibility.
Parameter | Typical Range* |
---|---|
Electric consumption | ~15-40 kWh per ton of water evaporated |
Fresh steam demand | Minimal after start-up |
Operating pressure | Vacuum (customized per application) |
Product consistency | High, with narrow crystal size distribution |
Availability | ≥ 95% with proper CIP scheduling |
*Performance depends on feed quality, compression ratio, and heat-exchanger design.
Yes — the system is widely used in ZLD projects for high-salinity brine concentration and crystallization.
Absolutely — stainless steel 316L/duplex materials, hygienic designs, and full CIP validation are available.
By compressing and reusing vapor, MVR recovers latent heat, drastically lowering steam use compared to multi-effect units.
