1. Intelligent Control of Core Process Parameters
Intelligent Closed-Loop Control of Vacuum Degree
- Real-time pressure monitoring, automatic adjustment of vacuum pumps, frequency conversion, and exhaust valves
- Stabilize boiling points to ensure low-temperature, constant, and gentle evaporation
- Prevent material loss, boiling over, and reduced heat exchange efficiency caused by vacuum fluctuations
Intelligent Adjustment of Heating Temperature/Steam Volume
- Frequency conversion control of steam valves/hot water valves
- Maintain operation with the minimum effective heat transfer temperature difference
- Protect heat-sensitive materials from overheating and coking
Intelligent Control of Feed Liquid Level
- Interlocking of liquid levels in evaporators, separators, and liquid storage tanks
- Automatic adjustment of feed pumps, circulation pumps, and discharge pumps
- Prevent dry burning, tank overfilling, liquid hammer, and material loss with liquid entrainment
Intelligent Control of Circulation Flow/ Liquid Distribution
- Frequency conversion control of circulation pumps to ensure optimal liquid film thickness

- Automatically increase flow rate/speed for high-viscosity materials
2. Intelligent Energy-Saving Control of MVR/Heat Pump Systems
MVR is most commonly used in low-temperature evaporation, and intelligent control is crucial:
- Automatic adjustment of compressor frequency, current, and temperature rise
- Closed-loop control of secondary steam pressure, temperature, and superheat
- Automatic matching: evaporation capacity ↔ compressor load
- Prevent surging, overload, and liquid hammer
- Achieve operation with maximum energy efficiency (COP)
3. Intelligent Online Monitoring and Diagnosis
Online Calculation of Heat Exchange Efficiency
- Real-time calculation of heat transfer coefficient K
- Determine scaling, coking, and uneven liquid films
- Automatically remind for cleaning/maintenance
Online Estimation/ Detection of Material Concentration
- Combine density, conductivity, refractive index, and temperature
- Automatically determine the concentration endpoint
- Automatically switch between discharge and liquid replenishment
Condition Monitoring of Key Equipment
- Monitor current, vibration, and temperature of pumps, compressors, and vacuum pumps
- Early warning of faults to reduce downtime
4. Intelligent Prevention of Scaling, Frosting, and Material Loss
- Automatically judge scaling trends and initiate online cleaning/sponge ball/chemical cleaning
- Refrigeration-type low-temperature evaporators: intelligent defrosting (time + temperature + pressure difference linkage)
- Interlock of separator liquid level and gas velocity to prevent mist entrainment and material loss
5. Fully Automatic Process Control (One-Key Start/Stop)
Start-up: Vacuum pumping → Preheating → Feeding → Evaporation → Concentration → Discharging
Shutdown: Cooling → Vacuum breaking → Cleaning → Shutdown
Automatic abnormal protection: Emergency shutdown for overheating, overpressure, low liquid level, and overload
6. Remote Monitoring and Digital Management
