Summary

Water is one of the most essential sources for living things to survive. The demand for water will be increasing owing to the rise in population and the expansion of agricultural and industrial activities. In this work, plate heat exchanger (PHE) applied in vacuum evaporator for product fresh water. Nowadays, PHE have become popular in chemical, power, food and refrigeration industries due to the efficient heat transfer performance, extremely compact design and flexibility of extend or modify to suit changed duty. The experiment was performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics between cold and hot fluid stream with variation of flow rate and supply temperature and relationship with production of fresh water as output of the system. The heat transfer part contains corrugated plates with 60 degree of chevron angle which verified by many researchers and commonly used.
