The heating means constituting the present invention is not limited to the heat medium jacket, and may be an external heating type heating means or an internal heating type heating means. Examples of the external heating method include a method of installing a heat medium jacket as shown in FIG. 1 and a method of installing a heating wire on the outer surface of the evaporator. As an internal heating method, a method of flowing a heating medium through a coiled wire (a tube wound in a coil shape), a method of installing a heating wire in an evaporator, a method of using a coiled wire itself as a heating wire, And a method of installing a heat source. Among these, from the viewpoint of evaporation efficiency, ease of assembly, and ease of removing dried solids and scales accumulated in the evaporator, an external heating type heating means is preferable, and a heat medium jacket is particularly preferable. The heating means of the external heating method may be installed in the entire outer surface range of the evaporator or in a partial range.
 加熱手段による加熱温度は、揮発分が蒸発する温度であれば特に限定されない。ただし、加熱温度が高すぎると乾固物やスケールが生じる恐れがあり、低すぎると蒸発が不十分となることがある。また、流下液膜式蒸発器内を減圧して低温加熱で液の蒸発を行うこともできる。 The heating temperature by the heating means is not particularly limited as long as the volatile component evaporates. However, if the heating temperature is too high, dry matter or scale may be generated, and if it is too low, evaporation may be insufficient. Further, the inside of the falling liquid film evaporator can be decompressed and the liquid can be evaporated by low-temperature heating.
 本発明の流下液膜式蒸発器では、蒸発缶2の内面及びコイル状線材3の表面を膜状に流下しながら液を蒸発させることができる。液は、蒸発缶の内面とコイル状線材との間に形成されるらせん流路状の空間や、コイル状線材の内側に形成される溝状の空間に沿って流下し、蒸発缶内面全周に広がるので、伝熱面積が増大し、高い蒸発効率を得ることができる。液は、コイル状線材の最上部から供給することもできるし、中間部から供給することもできる。 In the falling liquid film evaporator of the present invention, the liquid can be evaporated while flowing down the inner surface of the evaporator 2 and the surface of the coiled wire 3 into a film shape. The liquid flows down along a spiral channel-shaped space formed between the inner surface of the evaporator and the coiled wire or a groove-shaped space formed inside the coiled wire, and the entire inner surface of the evaporator Therefore, the heat transfer area increases and high evaporation efficiency can be obtained. The liquid can be supplied from the uppermost part of the coiled wire or can be supplied from an intermediate part.
 図2に示すシステムにおいては、蒸発処理の対象となる液は、液容器6からポンプ7によって、蒸発缶2の側面の液供給口2-1を経て蒸発缶2内に供給されているが、これに限定されない。例えば、液を蒸発缶2の頂部から供給しても良い。図2に示すシステムには示されていないが、蒸発缶2の手前に予熱器を設置して、供給される液を所望の温度に加熱してもよい。 In the system shown in FIG. 2, the liquid to be evaporated is supplied from the liquid container 6 by the pump 7 into the evaporator 2 through the liquid supply port 2-1 on the side surface of the evaporator 2. It is not limited to this. For example, the liquid may be supplied from the top of the evaporator 2. Although not shown in the system shown in FIG. 2, a preheater may be installed in front of the evaporator 2 to heat the supplied liquid to a desired temperature.
 揮発分の排出方法は特に限定されないが、図2に示すシステムにおいては、蒸発缶2の頂部から揮発分が排出される。蒸発缶2の頂部に設置されたミストセパレーター10においてミストが蒸発缶2に戻される。揮発分は頂部に設置された凝縮器5において液化され揮発分受け容器9に回収される。凝縮器としては、例えば、二重管式、多管式、コイル式、プレート式、プレートフィン式、渦巻式、ジャケット式などの凝縮器を挙げることができる。蒸発缶2の下部から蒸発されなかった液が排出されて濃縮物受け容器8にて回収される。 The method for discharging the volatile matter is not particularly limited, but in the system shown in FIG. 2, the volatile matter is discharged from the top of the evaporator 2. The mist is returned to the evaporator 2 in the mist separator 10 installed at the top of the evaporator 2. Volatile components are liquefied in the condenser 5 installed at the top and collected in the volatile component receiving container 9. Examples of the condenser include a double-pipe type, a multi-pipe type, a coil type, a plate type, a plate fin type, a spiral type, and a jacket type. The liquid not evaporated from the lower portion of the evaporator 2 is discharged and collected in the concentrate receiving container 8.
 図3に示すシステムにおいては、蒸発缶2の頂部は封止されている。揮発分および蒸発されなかった液は、蒸発缶2の底部から濃縮物受け容器8に排出される。蒸発されなかった液は、容器8の底にたまる。揮発分はそのまま濃縮物受け容器8の上部から抜き出されて凝縮器5において液化される。液化された揮発分は揮発分受け容器9の底にたまり回収される。 In the system shown in FIG. 3, the top of the evaporator 2 is sealed. Volatiles and liquid that has not been evaporated are discharged from the bottom of the evaporator 2 to the concentrate receiving container 8. The liquid that has not been evaporated accumulates in the bottom of the container 8. Volatile components are extracted from the upper part of the concentrate receiving container 8 as it is and liquefied in the condenser 5. The liquefied volatile matter is collected at the bottom of the volatile matter receiving container 9 and collected.
