[0026] S2: The side plates 2 are symmetrically assembled on the left and right sides of the base plate 1. The positioning plates are connected and fixed to the left and right side plates 2 with bolts. The plates are repeatedly heated and welded until they are dense. The water inlet pipe 6 is welded on the left side plate 2 and the water outlet pipe 7 is welded on the right side plate 2.
