The specific control method can refer to the existing technology, so as to realize the discharge of liquid components entrained in the CO2 gas after the CO2 gas is cooled.

[0027] More specifically, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are distributed up and down, and the shell-side media of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are different; the shell-side medium of the first heat exchange module 1 is water, and the shell-side medium of the second heat exchange module 2 is Freon, that is, the first heat exchange module 1 can cool the CO2 gas to about 40°C, and the second heat exchange module 2 can cool the CO2 gas to about 15°C; the cooling medium of the second heat exchange module 2 of the present application can have two sources, that is, source one is recycled Freon, and source two is newly added Freon from the outside.

[0029] Specifically, a connecting flange 72 is provided at the head of the heat exchange tube 71, and the heat exchange tube 71 is detachably connected to the end tube sheet 5 by using the connecting flange 72 and fasteners; the flow channel hole 41 is in the shape of an "I", that is, both ends of the flow channel hole 41 are stepped; the heat exchange tube 71 of the first heat exchange module 1 abuts on the stepped surface at one end of the flow channel hole 41, and the heat exchange tube 71 of the second heat exchange module 2 abuts on the stepped surface at the other end of the flow channel hole 41, that is, the CO2 gas enters the flow channel hole 41 after passing through the heat exchange tube 71 of the first heat exchange module 1, and then enters the second heat exchange tube 71 of the second heat exchange module 2; the heat exchange tube 71 abuts on the stepped surface of the flow channel hole 41, so that when the connecting flange 72 of the heat exchange tube 71 is detached from the end tube sheet 5, the heat exchange tube 71 can be detached from the connecting block 4.

[0032] Working process: The gas enters the tube side of the first heat exchange module 1 from the air inlet 32, reaches the flow channel hole 41 after being cooled by the first heat exchange module 1, and then enters the tube side of the second heat exchange module 2, and is discharged from the shell 3 from the air outlet 33 after being cooled by the second heat exchange module 2;

[0033] The cooling water of the first heat exchange module 1 enters the shell side of the first heat exchange module 1 and then flows out, and the Freon of the second heat exchange module 2 enters the shell side of the second heat exchange module 2 and then flows out.
