Abstract
Falling film evaporators consist of vertically arranged heating surfaces. Tubes are usually used. From these, a liquid flows off in the form of a thin film and is evaporated by the addition of heat. Frequently, in such apparatus, a solvent is to be extracted by evaporation from a solution consisting of a solvent (water or organic solvent) and the substances dissolved in it (salts or other substances). Examples are the concentrating of fruit juices, the recovering of solvents during the production of lacquer, or the extraction of fresh water from sea water.
