Product Description
Core Equipment Overview
This specialized evaporation system is engineered for concentrating calcium chloride solutions, addressing key challenges such as high solubility, significant boiling point elevation, and strong corrosivity. It offers flexible configurations including MVR, triple-effect, and single-effect evaporation processes, tailored to different concentration stages. The system achieves automatic control of temperature, pressure, and material transfer, ensuring stable production of high-concentration calcium chloride solutions (up to ≥70%) for subsequent crystallization or drying processes. Widely applied in chemical, environmental protection, and refrigeration industries, it balances efficiency, energy savings, and corrosion resistance.
Applicable Raw Material Range
| Raw Material Type | Concentration Range | Recommended Evaporation Process | Target Output Concentration |

| Dilute Calcium Chloride Solution | 20%-35% (20-40 Baume degrees) | MVR Evaporator | 40%-50% |
| Medium-Concentration Solution | 35%-40% | Triple-Effect Evaporator | 60%-65% |
| High-Concentration Feed | 40%-60% | Single-Effect Evaporator | ≥70% |
| Calcium Chloride-Containing Wastewater | 15%-30% | Combined MVR + Crystallization System | Solid Salt Recovery |
Equipment Working Principle
The system operates based on vacuum evaporation + heat energy cascade utilization technology, with different configurations optimized for specific concentration ranges:
● MVR Evaporator: Uses a mechanical vapor recompression compressor to compress low-pressure secondary steam into high-pressure steam, which is then reused as a heating source. This reduces external steam consumption by over 90% compared to traditional systems.
● Triple-Effect Evaporator: Adopts a series connection of three evaporation units. Steam from the first effect heats the second effect, and secondary steam from the second effect heats the third effect, achieving heat energy utilization with a thermal efficiency of over 80%.
● Single-Effect Evaporator: Designed for high-concentration solutions, it uses direct steam or heat-conducting oil heating under vacuum conditions to minimize scaling and ensure stable evaporation of high-boiling-point solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QWhat is the maximum output concentration achievable by this evaporation system?
The system utilizes customized single-effect and forced circulation configurations to achieve high-concentration output reaching ≥70%, ideal for direct feed into downstream crystallization or flaking processes.
QHow does the system mitigate corrosion caused by calcium chloride?
Key contact parts and heat exchanger tubes are manufactured with high-grade anti-corrosive materials such as titanium (TA2) or duplex stainless steel (2205), specifically optimized for hot chloride environments to extend operational life.
QWhy choose an MVR evaporator over a multi-effect system for dilute solutions?
For solutions between 20%-35% concentration, the boiling point elevation is moderate, making MVR significantly more energy-efficient by compressing and reusing secondary vapor, which reduces external steam requirements by over 90%.
QHow does the system prevent tube fouling and scaling during operation?
A forced circulation flow dynamics design maintains a high liquid velocity inside the heating tubes, effectively scouring the surface and inhibiting salt precipitation and scale formation.
QCan the equipment handle industrial wastewater containing calcium chloride?
Yes, the system is designed to treat wastewater with 15%-30% calcium chloride, providing integrated concentration and zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) crystallization to recover valuable solid industrial salts.
