Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR)

Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) is a process for the energetic utilization of the vapor generated during evaporation.

Water vapor is produced during evaporation. This vapor is mechanically compressed, causing its temperature to rise. The heat is subsequently fed back into the evaporation process.

ADVANTAGES OF MVR IN EVAPORATOR TECHNOLOGY

• Recovery of thermal energy
• Lower external energy demand
• Efficient continuous operation
• Suitable for industrial wastewater streams
• Key basis for modern evaporator concepts

In short: MVR utilizes the vapor not as waste heat, but as an energy source within the process.
