The effect of interstage heat leakage on the thermal performance of MSF evaporators

This paper addresses the effect of the interstage heat leakage on the thermal performance of multistage flash (MSF) evaporators which have been arranged in multiple tiers.

Description
Summary:This paper addresses the effect of the interstage heat leakage on the thermal performance of multistage flash (MSF) evaporators which have been arranged in multiple tiers. It is shown that the adverse impact of this effect can be neglected because the vapor contacting the interstage partition of a double-deck design acts as an insulator for this heat-leakage path.
