Key Advantages
Maximized Condensate Heat Recovery
Efficient preheating of juice reduces energy losses and improves overall thermal efficiency.
Reduced Steam Consumption
Lower approach temperatures and optimal heat transfer minimize additional steam requirements.
Compact & Space-Saving
Multi-pass design requires less footprint without compromising heating surface.
Enhanced Condensate Utilization
No heat is rejected to the cooling tower, leaving surplus cooled condensate available for make-up water.
Supports Efficient Vapor Management
Maximizes vapor availability from later effects for other consumers within the plant.
