Evaporator Operation
Water-based solution is fed into the reservoir by the transfer pump or
the user's equipment. The high level switch will stop the pump when full.
Only non-flammable fluids can safely be evaporated.
The disc skimmer is started on the operator's control
panel or the decanter skimmer is used to remove oily contaminants which
slow the evaporation operation.
After skimming, the exhaust fan is started to remove the
water vapor and the burner exhaust .
With the fan running, the burner is started and evaporation
begins. The exhaust line must be vented through a free flowing chimney.
When most of the water is evaporated, the solution temperature
will increase reaching the thermostat set point which turns off the burner.
