The lower end of the heat exchanger barrel 21 is provided with a cold water inlet 22 to facilitate the circulating water to enter the heat exchanger barrel 21. The upper end of the heat exchanger barrel 21 is provided with a cold water outlet 23 to discharge the circulating water in the heat exchanger barrel 21. The bottom surface of the heat exchanger cylinder 21 is fixedly connected with a base 24 to support the heat exchanger cylinder 21. A heat exchange tube 25 is installed inside the heat exchanger cylinder 21 to increase the heat exchange area. A heat exchanger head 26 is provided at one end of the heat exchanger cylinder 21. The heat exchanger cylinder 21 and the heat exchanger head 26 are installed together by bolts 27. A hot water inlet 28 is provided at the lower end of the heat exchanger head 26 to facilitate the access to the hot water in the heater 11.

The protective shell 32 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the heat exchanger cylinder 21.

[0033] A pressure gauge 211 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the heat exchanger cylinder 21, and a temperature gauge 212 is provided next to the pressure gauge 211. The temperature gauge 212 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the heat exchanger cylinder 21 to monitor the temperature and pressure inside the heat exchanger cylinder 21 in real time.

[0034] Working principle: First, start the heater 11 to heat the lithium bromide solution and water inside it, then the water boils to generate steam that enters the heat exchanger head 26. The concentrated lithium bromide solution is transported to the mixer 13 through the water pump 12 for standby use. Then the steam is cooled through the heat exchange tube 25 and enters the expansion valve 14. When the pressure reaches the set value, the expansion valve 14 opens, and the steam condenses into water when it is cooled and mixes with the lithium bromide in the mixer 13 and enters the heater 11 to form a cycle. During the heat exchange process, the heat exchanger cylinder 21 absorbs a large amount of heat, thereby preheating the water used for power generation in the recovery water pipe 31, thereby utilizing its heat.
