An evaporator for increasing the solids content of a liquid-solids mixture employs vapor compressor means to recycle superheated vapors that are boiled off the mixture by a heat transfer fluid. The superheated vapors are forced into the mixture before the mixture is heated by passage over a heat transfer surface, and the vapors cause the mixture to flow past such heat transfer surface at sufficient velocity to prevent excessive solids from depositing on the heat transfer surface.

Liquid concentration method

Apparatus for evaporating liquids by heat transfer from a condensing vapor through long vertical tubes in which the film thickness of condensed vapors on such tubes is reduced by removal of such vapors intermediate the ends of the tubes.
