Then the gas moves upward through the air inlet pipe 12 to the interior of the condenser 13, and the gas is converted into condensate by the condenser 13. Then the condensate is evenly sprayed onto the inner wall of the tower body 1 through the reflux assembly.

[0024] A baffle 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the tower plate 3. During use, when the solvent passes through the tower plate 3, the baffle 4 can block the solvent at the top of the tower plate 3, and then continue to transport the solvent to the tower plate 3. When the solvent overflows the baffle 4, it can flow to the tower plate 3 at the bottom.

[0025] The jet assembly includes a first air pipe 7 and a second air pipe 8. The first air pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the reheater 6.

When the solvent passes through the tower plate 3, the baffle 4 can block the solvent at the top of the tower plate 3, and then continue to transport the solvent to the tower plate 3. When the solvent overflows the baffle 4, it can flow to the bottom of the tower plate 3. After the solvent passes through four tower plates 3, it reaches the bottom of the tower body 1. The solvent enters the inside of the reheater 6 through the discharge pipe 5, and the solvent is heated by the reheater 6 to generate steam, and then the steam is transported to each through the first air pipe 7 and the second air pipe 8. The gas enters the exhaust groove 9 inside the tower plate 3, then moves upward and is discharged from the air hole 10, then passes through the tower plate 3 to vaporize the solvent, and then the gas moves upward through the air inlet pipe 12 to enter the inside of the condenser 13, and is converted into condensate by the condenser 13, and then enters the inside of the first reflux pipe 14, and the condensate enters the inside of the second reflux pipe 17 through the diverter 16, and then is discharged through the nozzle 19 at the bottom of the circular drainage block 18, and falls to the top of the tower plate 3 along the inner wall of the tower body 1 for the next vaporization.
