Mag Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 A Flash Evaporator? We have one in our school, and my teacher was going to throw it away, i put it back in his room though, because i thought that i might as well just ask here to see how it works, and what it does here is a link, we have the exact same one: right here thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQW Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Very simply put, what a flash evaporator does is it compresses a liquid and then heats it up before allowing it to expand from a nozzle. The sudden drop in pressure causes the liquid to vaporize. Typically, if the liquid is a mixture of two or more components, one of which is more volatile than the others (has a higher vapor pressure at the nozzle temperature), then this volatile component vaporizes out of the liquid, and the liquid gets more ocncentrated in its less volatile components.
