Figure 6 - Re-heater temperature & saturation profile<br />
Figure 6 assumes that the f<strong>low</strong> of <strong>massecuite</strong> through a conventional finned<br />
heater is linear, as it has a high heating surface with narrow <strong>massecuite</strong> voids.<br />
It is considered that a correctly designed heater does not channel as it is self<br />
regulating, with high <strong>massecuite</strong> f<strong>low</strong> passing over the heating elements less<br />
heat is absorbed. This tending <strong>to</strong> s<strong>low</strong> the rate of throughput, due <strong>to</strong> its change<br />
in its saturation/viscosity. When the rate s<strong>low</strong>s additional heat is taken in,<br />
again altering the <strong>massecuite</strong> al<strong>low</strong>ing the f<strong>low</strong> <strong>to</strong> increase.<br />
