Evaporators are widely used in the chemical industry for processes such as distillation, concentration and crystallization. Heat pumps can be used in purpose to increase the efficiency of these processes by using the low-grade heat of the secondary vapors of liquid matter from the last effect of the apparatus. Heat pumps have the capacity to substantially reduce energy consumption in the chemical industry compared to more customary warming techniques, as they necessitate less energy to run. This can reduce the overall energy consumption of the chemical process and help reduce emissions.
