SUAREZ, Graciela Ingrid; NAVAS NALE, Verónica Beatriz e LORENZO DONCEL, Carla Valeria. Optimization of the design and instrumentation of the double-effect concentrator at School of Engineering. National University of San Juan. Argentina. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2020, n.33, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-7587.
The Technological Laboratory at the School Engineering, NUSJ counts with a double-effect evaporator on pilot scale. This article suggests to analyze it by consolidating knowledge about its operational and industrial instrumentation, determining the variables to manipulate it, as well as improving its design and correct use not only on research projects but also in training practices among Food Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Chemical Engineering undergraduates. The equipment was dismantled and several tests were conducted. The results established that the temperature and the placement points of the sensors were the most representative variables for the control of the evaporator. The identified improvements were both the valve placement and the addition of two purges to clean the equipment.
