rapid traverse Machining Technology in Brief This evaporator water treatment system creates a vacuum to lower the boiling point of wastewater, thereby increasing the efficiency of its heat pump that evaporates particulates. evaporators create a vacuum to lower the boiling point of the water. This is a more efficient way to evaporate the wastewater, thus lowering the system's operating costs. Also, no emissions are discharged into the atmosphere because it is a closed-loop system. The company offers three primary evaporator systems for industrial applications. The one bestsuited for machine shops is the Evaled E-series heat pump model, which uses a heat pump to evaporate particulates from the water. The E-series PRAB Fluid Filtration, call 800-493-3462 or visit prab.com evaporators create 6 kPa absolute vacuum to save the thermal energy the heat pump produces. This reduces the boiling temperature of the wastewater to approximately 104°F (40°C), and typical conditions such as scaling, precipitation and corrosion that can reduce the system's performance are said to be eliminated or greatly reduced. E-series units have a single inlet and two discharge streams for concentrate and distillate. They are skid-mounted for simple installation and use a PLC to enable automatic operation with minimum supervision. They can run 24/7 and require only an electrical supply and compressed air for operation. Because the Evaled unit operates as a closed-loop system, no emissions are discharged into the atmosphere. 32 MMS September 2013 mmsonline.com
