Abstract
Spray flash evaporators are being used or considered for power systems utilizing solar energy, ocean thermal energy, and geothermal energy. As part of an attempt to develop a compact, efficient flash evaporator, an experimental study of the effect of injection of bubble nuclei has been conducted. The bubble nuclei were generated by electrolyzing warm water, which was ejected from a simple tubular nozzle into a low-pressure vapor zone. Effects of electrolytic current level, nozzle diameter, liquid flow rate, liquid temperature, and superheat were investigated. The evaporator rates attained were superior to those in conventional multistage flash evaporators with open channels.
