What Are Falling Film Evaporators?
A Falling Film Evaporator is a high-efficiency cooling system designed to transfer heat rapidly by allowing a thin film of liquid to flow over a chilled surface. Using advanced Pillow Plate Technology, it ensures optimal heat exchange with minimal energy consumption. Commonly employed in industries such as dairy, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and beverages, it provides precise temperature control, enhances energy savings, and preserves product quality. This system is particularly valued for its ability to maintain hygiene, comply with industry standards, and deliver customizable solutions for diverse industrial applications.
What Are Falling Film Chillers?
Falling Film Chillers, also known as Spray Chillers, Baudelot Water Coolers, Ice Water Chillers, or Baudelot Chillers, are cutting-edge industrial refrigeration systems designed for rapid, energy-efficient cooling. Built on advanced Pillow Plate technology, these chillers provide superior heat transfer efficiency and reliability, making them indispensable for industries like food processing, dairy, and beverages.
At Metro Refrigeration Industries, we leverage 40+ decades of expertise and Indo-American technology to deliver energy-efficient, turnkey ammonia refrigeration solutions. Serving clients across India and 30 countries worldwide, including Australia, UAE, Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt, our systems ensure optimal temperature control, food safety, and operational efficiency.
How Do Falling Film Chillers Work?
Falling Film Chillers operate on a simple yet highly efficient process:
- Liquid Distribution: A thin film of liquid flows over a refrigerated surface.
- Heat Exchange: As the liquid contacts the chilled surface, it rapidly loses heat, aided by refrigerants like ammonia or Freon circulating to maintain low temperatures.
- Energy Efficiency: The thin film ensures optimal heat transfer, reducing energy consumption and enhancing cooling speed.
Key Features:
- Pillow Plate Technology: Ensures uniform cooling and maximized heat transfer.
- Energy Savings: Operates with minimal energy usage, lowering operational costs.
- Customizable Solutions: Tailored designs for diverse industrial needs.
