Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a continuous vacuum pan for use in the sugar processing industry, and more particularly but not exclusively, to a vertical, double calandria, continuous vacuum pan. The vacuum pan includes a vessel having a first enclosed chamber and a second enclosed chamber. A first heat exchanger is located in the first chamber, with a first vapour space defined in the first chamber above the first heat exchanger. A second heat exchanger located in the second chamber, with a second vapour space defined in the second chamber above the second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger both have heat transfer medium inlets, and the vacuum pan is characterized therein that the heat transfer medium inlet of the second heat exchanger is in flow communication with the first vapour space, in order for vapour contained in the first vapour space to be conveyed through the second heat exchanger as heat transfer medium.
