The double-effect
concentrator comprises a first-effect heater, a first-effect
evaporator, a second-effect heater and a second-effect
evaporator, a heat exchange box is arranged on one side of the first-effect heater, a feeding
pipe is arranged on the side, close to the bottom, of the heat exchange box, and a conveying
pipe connected with the first-effect heater is arranged on the side, close to the top, of the heat exchange box; a live steam inlet
pipe is fixedly arranged on the first-effect heater, a steam outlet pipe is fixedly arranged at the top of the second-effect
evaporator, the steam outlet pipe is connected with the live steam inlet pipe through a steam compressor, a steam conveying pipe is fixedly arranged on the steam outlet pipe, and the steam conveying pipe is connected with the heat exchange box. By means of the structure, secondary steam generated by the second-effect evaporator achieves efficient preheating of feed liquid, the initial
temperature difference when the feed liquid enters the first-effect heater is reduced, and live steam consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, secondary steam is pressurized and heated through the steam compressor and then reused to the first-effect heater,
heat energy is further recycled, the steam
utilization rate is increased, efficient
heat energy recycling is achieved, and
energy consumption is reduced.
