[0025] The outer diameter of the steam conduit 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the circulating water jacket 2 ; the outer diameter of the circulating water jacket 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the flow guide pipe 3 .

[0026] The steam conduit 1 , the circulating water jacket 2 and the flow guide pipe 3 are coaxially arranged.

[0027] The lower ports of the steam conduit 1 and the circulating water jacket 2 are both located inside the flow guide pipe 3 .

[0028] The distance from the lower end of the steam conduit 1 to the lower end of the draft tube 3 is smaller than the distance from the lower end of the circulating water jacket 2 to the lower end of the draft tube 3. That is, the lower end of the steam conduit 1 is closer to the lower end of the draft tube 3 than the lower end of the circulating water jacket 2.

[0029] The difference between the inner diameter of the circulating water jacket 2 and the outer diameter of the steam conduit 1 is 20 mm; the difference between the inner diameter of the flow guide pipe 3 and the outer diameter of the circulating water jacket 2 is 20 mm.
