Depending on the size of the fins 5552, multiple rows of reinforcing ribs 5553 can be provided.

[0032] The phthalic anhydride preparation device with a preheater provided by the utility model can reduce the amount of high-pressure steam used by adding an air preheater 5 in front of the air heater 6 and arranging spiral fins 5552 around the outside of the heating tube 5551, thereby rationally utilizing the low-pressure steam generated by the device itself.
