I dont know how to start up the process to reach steady state. In reality air is circulated through the system by the vaccum pump until operating temperature is reached. then water is pumped into the hot system. the generated vapor is then recompressed by the vacuum pump. the superheated vapour is used in the heat exchanger of the evaporator and the preheater.
Attached you find the flowsheet of the system.
