Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE)

At SRP Engineering and Tech, we offer the highly efficient Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE), a state-of-the-art solution designed to meet the needs of industries requiring superior heat transfer, reliable operation, and minimal fouling. The FCE utilizes a pump to force the liquid through the heating tube section, ensuring uniform flow and enhanced heat transfer. This continuous circulation system allows for better control over the evaporation rate and is ideal for processing difficult liquids, including those with high fouling tendencies, slurries, suspensions, and heat-sensitive products.

The Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE) operates by pumping the liquid through the heated tubes, ensuring constant contact between the liquid and the heating surface. The liquid is kept in continuous motion, promoting uniform evaporation while preventing the buildup of solids that could otherwise cause scaling or fouling. Unlike traditional evaporators, which rely solely on gravity, the forced circulation system ensures a higher level of control over the process, making it perfect for materials that require careful handling.

The forced circulation design enables quick and uniform evaporation, which minimizes the risk of thermal degradation of the product. With multiple heat transfer surfaces and a short residence time, this process offers fast evaporation with high efficiency.

  • High Heat Transfer Efficiency: The continuous circulation of liquid ensures better contact with heating surfaces, improving heat transfer and increasing evaporation efficiency.
  • Ideal for High Fouling Liquids: The constant motion prevents solids from settling, making the FCE perfect for liquids prone to fouling, such as dairy, sugar solutions, and chemical slurries.
  • Energy Efficient: Achieving high evaporation rates with minimal energy input, the FCE reduces operating costs and enhances overall system efficiency.
  • Scalable Design: Whether for small-scale operations or large industrial systems, the FCE is customizable to meet the specific needs of your business.
  • Gentle Treatment of Heat-Sensitive Products: The short residence time and controlled heat input minimize the risk of product degradation, making the FCE ideal for heat-sensitive liquids.
  • Minimal Scaling and Fouling: The forced circulation ensures that solids do not accumulate on the heating surfaces, reducing maintenance requirements and increasing uptime.
  • Compact and Robust: Designed for durability and reliability, our FCE systems save space while withstanding demanding industrial conditions.
  • Skid-Mounted Design: Available in skid-mounted configurations for smaller capacities, making installation and transportation easier.
