Industrial Evaporators: Principles of Operation and Control (Monograph series / Instrument Society of America)

THe author first provides a basic understanding of the principles of the unit operation of evaporation and the types of evaporators and associated equipment commonly used. Building on this introduction, the critical operating and control parameters and variables on stability and economics are then presented. After discussing basic instrumentation of evaporators, the book examines the pros and cons of various approaches to controlling evaporators and the development of procedures and mathematical models for controlled evaporators.The fundamental reference work will be of value to control engineers and instrumentation engineers who must work on evaporators but are not fully backgrounded in the principles of operation. It will also be of value to the engineer who is well schooled in the principles of operation of evaporators but not in the instrumentation and control of this process.
