The VFC was designed as an attempt to provide an efficient Progressive Freeze Concentration (PFC) system by providing larger heat transfer area for crystallization. Glucose solution at an initial concentration of 11°Brix was concentrated through the new PFC system. The performance of the crystallizer was analyzed in parallel with the effect of freezing time and shaking speed to the system efficiency, represented by effective partition constant (K) and solute recovery (Y). The results show that the efficiency of the system has significantly improved portrayed by the lowest K value obtained of 0.383 and the highest Y value obtained of 0.96 g glucose/g initial glucose at intermediate circulation time and shaking speed. Thus, the VFC is evidently proven to have a high potential to be integrated in a PFC process as an efficient concentration system. The results obtained offer some guidelines on how to produce an efficient PFC system through parameter setting. © Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia. date: 2018 publisher: Universiti Malaysia Pahang official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85050732755&doi=10.15282%2fijame.15.2.2018.15.0412&partnerID=40&md5=a5b1da58ac14dbc8e5ca1b881f10dc2e id_number: 10.15282/ijame.15.2.2018.15.0412 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering volume: 15 number: 2 pagerange: 5356-5366 refereed: TRUE issn: 22298649 citation: Amran, N.A. and Samsuri, S. and Jusoh, M.
