Amount of energy required to evaporate 1 liter if water through scheffler dish

[ashishgourav]

Hi
Our company is planning to setup a scheffler system to evaporate 9 lakh liters of "waste water" per day.

I just want to know that how much energy would it take to evaporate 1 liter of water.

According to "latent heat of vaporization of water" it would take around 0.62 kWh/liter but I'm not sure...please help!

From an ideal standpoint, it will be both heat of vaporization plus the heat required to raise the water to 100°C. The only google hit I can find on Scheffler water systems is this thread, so I can't help you any more.

I know that "both heat of vaporization plus the heat required to raise the water to 100°C" but the energy required to raise the water to 100°C contributes just 5% of the total requirement

If that is true then it will take 20(1000 calories) times the number of degrees (100-T beginning)
or
20000 (100 - temp of waste water in celsius) in calories
If you take that number and multiply by 3.968 you will have BTUs
You can multiply BTUs by 0.000293 for kilowatt hours.

Hello,

I can confirm that the amount of energy required to evaporate 1 liter of water through a scheffler dish is approximately 0.62 kWh. This is based on the latent heat of vaporization of water, which is the amount of energy needed to change a liquid into a gas without changing its temperature.

To evaporate 9 lakh liters of waste water per day through a scheffler system, it would require a total of 558,000 kWh of energy. This is a significant amount, and it is important to consider the most efficient and sustainable energy sources for this process. It may also be beneficial to explore alternative methods of waste water treatment that require less energy.

I hope this information helps in your planning process. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if I can assist in any other way. Best of luck with your project.
