Economic and Technical Tradeoffs Between Open and Closed Cycle Vapor Compression Evaporators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Evaporators are used extensively in the chemical,
pulp and paper, food and beverage, and related
industries. Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR)
evaporators are a type using an open heat pump
