Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of evaporation crystallization, and in particular to an evaporation crystallization system. Background Art

[0002] The evaporation crystallization system uses a countercurrent feeding process, with the feed liquid and steam flowing in opposite directions. The feed liquid enters the evaporation system from the third-effect separator, where it circulates and heats in the third-effect system.
