System consists of a reboil u-tube, with a reboil rate of 328 lbs/hr, connected to an 11-1/2 in. inner dia x 17 ft. H essence column for fruit juice concentration. A Whitlock Hi-Transfer shell and tube heat exchanger/condenser, with (222) 5/16 in. dia. x 36 in. L tubes and 65.9 sq. ft. of surface area, is designed to keep condensate temperature as near to boiling as possible (212 F). Another Whitlock Hi-Transfer shell and tube heat exchanger with (84) 5/16 in. dia. x 36 in. L tubes and 24.7 sq. ft. of surface area, is used as a condenser/vent cooler and is designed to cool non-condensibles to within 15-20 F of water temperature. Last, an essence cooler, with (12) 1-3/8 in. dia. x 15 ft. L tubes, transmits the essence to the concentrate. Overall dimensions: 10 ft. L x 5 ft. W x 24 ft. H. (GK)(BC)
