An assessment of vapor compression distillation

The two parts of this paper deal with the saving of energy which may be accomplished through staging of two or more vapor compression plants and with an evaluation of the forced-circulation arrangement for the process.

Description
Summary:The two parts of this paper deal with the saving of energy which may be accomplished through staging of two or more vapor compression plants and with an evaluation of the forced-circulation arrangement for the process. Experiments using a small vapor compressor are presented to exemplify these two modes of operation. Algebraic expressions for compressor work are also presented and the results of calculations are compared with experimental information.
