Maple or birch water evaporator system

A system for producing maple syrup or birch syrup from maple or birch water, comprising:

• an evaporating pan comprising an impervious cover, a maple or birch water inlet, and a maple syrup or birch syrup outlet;
• a compressor, adapted for pressurizing vapor generated by evaporation of the maple or birch water in said evaporating pan;
• a condenser comprising at least one tubing immerged under the maple or birch syrup within the evaporating pan;
• and
• a pressure controller controlling a pressure within the evaporating pan;
• wherein an auxiliary heating unit initially brings the maple or birch water in said evaporating pan to a boiling temperature so as to first generate vapor needed to start the compressor;
• said at least one tubing circulates the pressurized vapor provided by said compressor to the maple or birch water within the evaporating pan, thereby further evaporating the maple or birch water and further generating vapor, and said pressure controller controls a pressure within the evaporating pan around atmospheric pressure.
