The liquid level is controlled by a sensor to control the liquid supply and cannot exceed the higher part of the first tube sheet 8.

[0019] Among them, the partition plate 9 is rectangular, and its edges are welded to the axial inner wall in the middle of the cylinder 2, the first tube sheet 8 and the second tube sheet 5 respectively.
