Principle
A part of the vapour steam is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature level by a steam jet pump with steam, so that it can be used as a heating medium.
A part of the vapour steam is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature level by a steam jet pump with steam, so that it can be used as a heating medium.
The solution is preheated with condensate and enters the evaporation circuit. Here it mixes with the circulated solution and is warmed up in heater H. In the evaporator V, solvent (water) evaporates while cooling the solution to the boiling temperature. The resulting vapour steam is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature level by the steam jet pump with the help of steam, so that it can be used as a heating medium for heating the circulated solution. The excess vapour is condensed. If salt shall be crystallized in the plant, further evaporation concentrates the solution to such an extent that crystals are formed. If desired, the crystals in the suspension can then be separated from the solution and dried.
