The juice heater (below) consists of an assembly of tubes; the juice circulates through the tubes, and the vapour outside them. Suitable headers force the juice to pass a certain number of times from bottom to top and from top to bottom of the heater by restricting the juice each time to a few of the tubes.There are two principal designs of tubular juice heaters, the horizontal and the vertical, both are use in sugar Industry. The Vertical juice heaters are preferred because they occupy less floor space, are subject to less formation of scales and provide better facilities for cleaning.
