[0026] It needs to be explained that: acid storage tank 404 upper end is provided with openable upper cover, graphite heat exchanger 1 is prior art equipment, and its working principle and structure are not repeated.
[0027] Among them, tee pipe a 2 includes main pipe a 201 connected with the end flange of adapter pipe b 102, and branch pipe a 202 is fixedly connected on main pipe a 201.
[0028] Among them, tee pipe b 3 includes main pipe b 301 connected with the end flange of adapter pipe c 103, and branch pipe b 302 is fixedly connected on main pipe b 301.

[0031] The end of the output pipe 401 and the end of the reflux pipe 405 connected with the acid storage tank 404 are higher than the bottom end of the acid storage tank 404.
[0032] It should be noted that the end of the output pipe 401 and the end of the reflux pipe 405 connected with the acid storage tank 404 are higher than the bottom end of the acid storage tank 404 by a certain distance, which can ensure that the acid storage tank 404 will not be disturbed by the liquid refluxed into the acid storage tank 404, and the dirt will not be blocked by the filter screen 7.
[0033] The bottom end of the acid storage tank 404 is provided with a slag discharge pipe 5, and an electric valve a6 is installed on the slag discharge pipe 5. By setting the slag discharge pipe 5, the sediment dirt in the acid storage tank 404 and the acid liquid that has been used for a long time and has lost its effectiveness can be discharged.
