[0032] Specifically, a horizontal transverse plate 111 is fixedly connected inside the high-pressure cavity 11, the transverse plate 111 divides the high-pressure cavity 11 into an air inlet cavity 15 and an air outlet cavity 16 which are independent of each other, the transverse plate 111 is arranged at the axis of the high-pressure cavity 11, the air inlet cavity 15 is located above the air outlet cavity 16, the sidewall of the tank body 10 is provided with a high-pressure steam inlet which is communicated with the air inlet cavity 15, and a high-pressure steam outlet which is communicated with the air outlet cavity 16.
[0033] In the embodiment, the baffle 30 is fixedly connected on the circumferential sidewall of the low-pressure cavity 12, and the baffle 30 is perpendicular to the axis of the low-pressure cavity 12, the baffle 30 is integrally designed as an arc-shaped plate, the baffle 30 is arranged at the bottom of the circumferential sidewall of the low-pressure cavity 12, and divides the low-pressure cavity 12 into the liquid storage groove 13 and the water return groove 14, the liquid storage groove 13 is used for containing soft water, and the liquid storage groove 13 is provided with a soft water inlet at the groove bottom, and the water return groove 14 is provided with a soft water outlet at the groove bottom, and the low-pressure steam outlet is arranged at the top of the low-pressure cavity 12.
[0034] In addition, a plurality of support plates 17 are fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank 13, and the plurality of support plates 17 are uniformly distributed along the extension direction of the liquid storage tank 13. The support plates 17 are configured in an arc-shaped plate shape. There is a liquid passage 18 between the support plates 17 and the tank bottom of the liquid storage tank 13. The liquid passage 18 is used to keep the overall liquid level in the liquid storage tank 13 consistent.
