The possibility of crossing temperatures in a single unit means a DuroShell can perform heating and vaporization duties using lower grade steam than a traditional shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Results • Highly efficient propane evaporation • Compact size • High vaporization rate • Robust and durable How to contact Alfa Laval Up-to-date Alfa Laval con
