A Flash Evaporator?

 

We have one in our school, and my teacher was going to throw it away, i put it back in his room though, because i thought that i might as well just ask here to see how it works, and what it does :)

 

here is a link, we have the exact same one:

right here

 

thanks

Very simply put, what a flash evaporator does is it compresses a liquid and then heats it up before allowing it to expand from a nozzle. The sudden drop in pressure causes the liquid to vaporize. Typically, if the liquid is a mixture of two or more components, one of which is more volatile than the others (has a higher vapor pressure at the nozzle temperature), then this volatile component vaporizes out of the liquid, and the liquid gets more ocncentrated in its less volatile components.
