Norbert Rillieux
Norbert Rillieux was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 17, 1806. His mother, Constance Vivant was a freed slave from New Orleans, and his father, Vincent Rillieux, was a inventor and engineer. Vincent invented the steam-operated cotton baling press. Norbert's academic talents were seen at an early age by his father, and was sent to Paris to be educated. At the age of twenty-four, Norbert Rillieux was a teacher of applied mechanics at a school in Paris. In 1830, he put out a series of papers about steam economy and steam engine work, a prelude to his invention involving steam. In fact, it was during the time that he was writing these papers, most likely, that he created his theory about multiple effect evaporation. Between 1884 and 1854, he created the Rillieux apparatus, a revolutionary invention. In 1864, he patented his first model, and advanced the system for eight more years, and received more patents
After his final model in 1854, Rillieux returned to Paris where he lost his interest in engineering and studied Egyptology. In 1881, he again started to improve his system, but he lost his patent, and he never again worked on his system of sugar evaporation. On October 8, 1894, he died a poor man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After one cycle of sugar evaporation is complete, the sugar that was produced is moved and put elsewhere, new sugarcane syrup is put into the containers, (2), (3), (4), the water in the condenser (5) is recycled and put back into the first container (1), and another cycle of sugar evaporation begins. . It took him ten years to create the final model because he was black, and there were prejudices he had to deal with in addition to his invention. Water is heated in the first container (1) which produces steam. The steam carries heat, called latent heat. A pu
