<p>A compact evaporator system is provided having a horizontal vapor separator and a horizontal forced circulation heat exchanger utilizing mechanical vapor recompression. The vapor separator has at least one product chamber having at least one product passage configured to receive at least one product. The vapor separator can also have at least one vapor chamber in fluid communication with the at least one product chamber having at least one vapor passage, wherein the at least one vapor chamber has a substantially horizontal orientation. The vapor separate can be configured such that a portion of the at least one product evaporates in the product chamber to produce a vapor that travels into the at least one vapor chamber, residual entrained droplets are removed from the vapor as it flows laterally through the vapor chamber, and the vapor is then discharged through the at least one vapor passage.</p> |
