| Energy Consumption |
High energy consumption, theoretically requires 1 ton of steam to evaporate 1 ton of water |
More energy-efficient, with decreasing consumption as efficiency increases |
Most energy-efficient technology, requiring only 15KW/h to 50KW/h of electricity per ton of water evaporated |

| Impact on Product Quality |
Short dwell time but high temperature, with minimal impact on product quality |
Long dwell time and high temperature, with minimal impact on product quality |
Short residence time, evaporation due to temperature difference, minimal impact on product quality |
| Energy Mode |
Requires steam heating, steam pipeline network, and boiler |
