Product Highlights:
• Superior Design
• Vertical natural circulation evaporators
• Scale effects reduced
• Uniform wetting and heat transfer
• Straight annealed tubes in evaporator
• Individual tubes can be replaced as opposed to replacing
the entire tube bundle.
• No residual stresses or surface finish problems
commonly found with U-tubes.
• Hot Stand-by option
• Improved response to
distillate demand
• No pumps running during hot

condenser level
• PID loop control of 1) capacity is based on 240 F condenser temperature. 2) 1st effect used as a clean steam generator with no distillate and clean
WFI temperature steam pressure at 60 psig. 3) cooling water rates based on 70 F feed, 180 F distillate, 5% blowdown rates at 130 F, and 60 F cooling
water temperature rise (70 F in and 130 F out). Multiply the cooling water flow rates by 5 to get the cooling water rates for 12 F cool-
