Abstract—Quadruple-effect evaporator is used to increase the concentration of sugar juice in a series of four pressure vessels. Vapor bled from the first three vessels is used to increase the juice temperature in juice heater to the saturation temperature at the inlet of the evaporator. This paper presents the model of heating and evaporation of sugar juice in juice heater and evaporator. The model is used to investigate how variations of surfaces in juice heater and evaporator affect the performance of the system.
