Use this window to change the operating conditions of the crystallizer.
By default, the crystallizer operates at the combined feed temperature and pressure with no recirculation.
The pressure may be specified as a drop below the combined feed pressure or you may specify the pressure value directly.
If an option other than At Merged Feed Temperature is selected, the unit is assumed to include a feed heat exchanger. You may specify either the crystallizer operating Temperature or the Duty of the exchanger.
Some of the bottom product may be remixed with the feed and passed through the feed exchanger. To specify this option, you must either specify the recirculation Volumetric Rate or the Temperature Change across the exchanger. A negative change denotes a temperature drop.
Alternatively, instead of entering a numeric value for the parameters in this window, they may be referenced using the Define system relative to any available unit operation or stream parameter calculated elsewhere in the simulation. See Crystallizer Parameters available for Cross-Referencing for more details.
The Crystallizer Operating Conditions window is accessed by pressing the Operating Conditions button on the Crystallizer Main Window.
