The article aims to calculate, design, and manufacture the concentrator equipment named CCE-03. The manufactured equipment has a capacity of 5L per batch, with a -10 to -35 °C concentration ambient, a concentration-time from 1.5 to 6 hours, a defrosting temperature of 10 to 25 °C, and is controlled by an automatic measuring device operated through a computer, and works stably. The concentrating process takes 1.6 hours; the energy cost is 0.48kWh/L of the product. The product concentration is 46.6%, and the loss of vitamin C content is 11.3%. The concentrated dragon juice is high-quality.
