In which of the following evaporators, steam is fed inside the tube while the liquor is outside the tube ?

Correct answer: C. Horizontal tube evaporator

  • A. Long tube vertical evaporator
  • B. Short tube vertical evaporator
  • C. Horizontal tube evaporator
  • D. None of these

In a horizontal-tube evaporator, heating steam condenses inside the horizontal tubes while the liquor flows over the outside surfaces. This arrangement is different from the usual long-tube vertical evaporator, where liquor is inside the tubes.
