Energy economy analysis of multiple effect evaporator systems with condensate flashing

Wei Hui-xia

Abstract

A mathematic model is developed for the analysis of the energy economy of multiple effect evaporator(MEE)systems with the help of condensate flashing.Results showed that induction of condensate flashing into MEE system could reduce the consumption of live steam remarkably and thus improve the energy economy of the system.The consumption of live steam could be reduced by 5.63% by adding 3 condensate flashings after the first,second and third evaporator.
