MVR Process
In this case the energy input to the system lies in the pumping energy of the compressor. The theoretical energy consumption will be equal to, where
- E is the total theoretical pumping energy
- Q is the mass of vapors passing through the compressor
- H1, H2 are the total heat content of unit mass of vapors, respectively upstream and downstream the compressor.
In SI units, these are respectively measured in kJ, kg and kJ/kg. This theoretical value shall be increased by the efficiency, usually in the order of 30 to 60%. In a large unit, the compression energy is between 35 and 45 kW per metric ton of compressed vapors.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“Science and art are only too often a superior kind of dope, possessing this advantage over booze and morphia: that they can be indulged in with a good conscience and with the conviction that, in the process of indulging, one is leading the “higher life.””
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
