Proposal for modernization of Robert evaporators

It is proposed to convert existing Robert evaporators into Trebor evaporators. Trebor evaporators work as falling film evaporators with the well-known thermal and technological advantages. When converting a Robert evaporator into a Trebor evaporator, the heating steam inlet and the vapour outlet as well as the condensate drain remain in their original positions. If necessary, the positions of the juice inlet and outlet nozzles are changed, and two additional nozzles and a circulation juice pump are required. These changes are cheaper than installing a new falling film evaporator.
