Abstract
Evaporators are one of the most important equipment in the food process industries such as sugar, fruit juices, dairy products, edible oils, tomato paste, and coffee. They need a lot of energy in the form of steam from boiler and it is necessary to minimize their energy consumption. One of the best strategies for this purpose is the design and application of multiple-effect evaporators (MEEs), in which the vapor from one stage (effect) is the heating medium for the next stage. There are various configurations and designs for MEEs and they can also be equipped with vapor compression systems and steam ejectors to further reduce the energy consumption and increase their economic efficiency. This article is covering the fundamentals, design, simulation, control, and application of MEEs in various food industries for the first time with discussing recent advances in this field.
期刊介绍：
Food Engineering Reviews publishes articles encompassing all engineering aspects of today’s scientific food research. The journal focuses on both classic and modern food engineering topics, exploring essential factors such as the health, nutritional, and environmental aspects of food processing. Trends that will drive the discipline over time, from the lab to industrial implementation, are identified and discussed. The scope of topics addressed is broad, including transport phenomena in food processing; food process engineering; physical properties of foods; food nano-science and nano-engineering; food equipment design; food plant design; modeling food processes; microbial inactivation kinetics; preservation technologies; engineering aspects of food packaging; shelf-life, storage and distribution of foods; instrumentation, control and automation in food processing; food engineering, health and nutrition; energy and economic considerations in food engineering; sustainability; and food engineering education.
