Title of Document: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TUBULAR EVAPORATOR UTILIZING HIGH ASPECT RATIO MANIFOLD MICROCHANNELS Vibhash Chandra Jha, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Michael Ohadi, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Heat recovery using absorption chillers has not been economical for small scale applications due to high capital requirements and heavy weight/volume as deterring facto...

This paper reports the improved rotor-film evaporator with lower arrangement of separating space, auger-type discharge concentrated organic fruit and berry paste, preheating puree secondary steam. The working surface is heated by a flexible film resistive electric heater radiating type an insulating outer surface. Peltier elements installed in device make it possible to provide low-voltage powe...
