In cosmetics, the most common use of acetone is in nail polish remover. Acetone is a colorless, flammable liquid that evaporates easily. It is an organic compound because carbon atoms are present in acetone's chemical formula, which is (CH3)2O.
Swenson thermal vapor recompression (TVR) evaporators use a thermocompressor to reduce the steam required per pound of evaporation. To reduce energy consumption, water vapor from an evaporator is entrained and compressed with high pressure steam in a thermocompressor so it can be condensed in the evaporator heat exchanger. The resultant pressure is intermediate to that of the motive steam and the water vapor.
What Is a Compressor and How Does it Work? An HVACR compressor is a refrigerant gas pump in which the evaporator supplies gaseous refrigerant at a low pressure and increases it to a greater pressure. Upon being compressed, the temperature and pressure of the vapor are increased. The gaseous refrigerant is delivered to the condenser at a pressure at which condensation occurs at an appropriate temperature. A compressor consists of two components: the power source and the compressing mechanism (piston, vane, etc.).
