This structure uses the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16 to guide the chilled water flowing in the cylinder 17, thereby increasing the flow path of the chilled water and allowing the chilled water to fully contact the heat exchange tube 19, so that the liquid side flowing between the lower head 9 and the upper head 12 is heat exchanged when passing through the heat exchange tube 19, thereby promoting the condensation of ammonia into liquid ammonia. The first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16 are respectively provided with pull rod holes 21 corresponding to the upper and lower positions, and the pull rod 15 passes through the pull rod hole 21. The pull rod 15 is outer-mounted with a spacing tube 6, and the spacing tube 6 is respectively located between the adjacent first baffle 5 and the first baffle 5, between the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16, and between the second baffle 16 and the first baffle 16. Between the two baffles 16, this structure enables the tie rod hole 21 to relatively connect and stabilize the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16, and the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16 are spaced by the spacing tube 6, so that the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 16 are evenly distributed, and the heat exchange tube 19 made of titanium is passed through and fixed between the upper tube plate 4, the lower tube plate 8, the second baffle 16 and the first baffle 5. The heat exchange tube 19 is made of titanium and is replaced by the material. Compared with the traditional stainless steel material, the number of heat exchange tubes 19 is increased and the diameter of the heat exchange tube 19 is reduced, so that the heat transfer effect is better and the heat exchange effect is improved. The lower end of the outer side of the upper tube plate 4 and the upper end of the outer side of the lower tube plate 8 are respectively welded and fixed with a vent tube 7, and the vent tube 7 is connected to the inside of the cylinder 17.
