Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thin film evaporators, and in particular to an improved thin film evaporator. Background Art

[0002] A thin-film evaporator is a highly efficient evaporation device characterized by heat transfer and evaporation through the flow of liquid material along the heated tube wall. The thin-film evaporator operates by forming a thin film of liquid on the heated surface, significantly increasing heat transfer efficiency and evaporation rate. The material rapidly passes through the heated zone, resulting in a very short residence time during the evaporation process. This makes the thin-film evaporator ideal for processing heat-sensitive materials, which can deteriorate or deteriorate due to prolonged high temperatures.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN111773751A discloses a scraper-type thin film evaporator, comprising an evaporator cylinder and a drive structure arranged on the upper side of the evaporator cylinder. A scraper cage structure is arranged in the evaporator cylinder, with its upper side connected to the drive structure and its lower side limited by a bearing on a lower head at the bottom of the evaporator cylinder. A discharge port is provided on the lower side of the lower head. A water cavity is provided on the side wall of the evaporator cylinder, and a water inlet and a water outlet are provided at the bottom and the top of the water cavity. An insulation layer is provided on the outside of the water cavity. A cleaning port and a vacuum interface are provided in sequence on the cylinder wall of the evaporator cylinder on the upper side of the scraper cage structure. A feed structure is provided on the cylinder wall of the evaporator cylinder adjacent to the scraper cage structure.

[0004] The technical solution recorded in this proposal uses the setting of a distributor to achieve uniform feeding of the material to the entire cylinder wall in an overflow manner, and the material is discharged continuously and evenly, which is convenient for subsequent scraper thinning and ensures that the separation effect of the evaporator is stable and efficient. However, this technical solution uses a cylindrical scraper, and the cylindrical scraper is set vertically, which can only play the role of thinning the material. The material can only move downward by gravity, and the efficiency is relatively low, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention
