The invention discloses a plate type
falling film evaporator. The
evaporator comprises an
evaporator tank body, a feed liquid
evaporation plate device, a feed liquid distribution device, a feed liquid circulating device, a steam discharging device and a feeding pipeline, the feed liquid
evaporation plate device comprises an
evaporation plate mechanism, a fixed bracket, a descaling connecting frame and a descaling
metal strip; a liquid film evaporation area is formed through the feed liquid evaporation plate device, uniform liquid distribution is achieved through the feed liquid distribution device, non-evaporated feed liquid flows back through the feed
liquid circulation device, secondary steam is discharged through the steam discharging device, and raw materials are supplemented through the feeding pipeline; the
thermal expansion coefficient of the descaling
metal strip is larger than that of the evaporation plate mechanism, micro displacement is generated during heating or the descaling
metal strip abuts against and slides to disturb the plate face, scale layer attachment is damaged, the scale layer is promoted to fall off, automatic reset is achieved during cooling, and self-adaptive descaling without external force driving is achieved. Passive scale removal is achieved through the
thermal expansion difference, the
heat transfer efficiency is improved, the operation period is prolonged, and the cleaning frequency and the maintenance cost are reduced.
