Both first connecting pipes 16 are connected to the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15. Both ends of the second connecting pipe 17 are connected to the flanges of the two first connecting pipes 16. The two tube supports 10 inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 are evenly located at both ends inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3. The baffle plates 11 inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 are located in the middle of the two tube supports 10. The heat exchange tubes 12 inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 pass through the two tube supports 10 and the baffle plates 11 inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3.
[0025] The first tank 1 and the second tank 3 are the main spaces for liquid heat exchange. Both the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 have heat exchange tubes 12 arranged in a circumferential array inside. Each tank also has two tube supports 10, evenly distributed at both ends inside, to support the heat exchange tubes 12, ensuring their stable position and normal operation. Baffles 11 are arranged in a crisscrossing array inside the first tank 1 and the second tank 3, located between the two tube supports 10. Their function is to change the flow direction of the fluid within the tank, increasing the turbulence and improving heat exchange efficiency, while also supporting the heat exchange tubes 12. Inlets 8 are located at the left end of the top surface of the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 to introduce higher-temperature heat transfer fluid or high-temperature heat sources to provide heat to the liquid; outlets 9 are located at the right end of the top surface of both the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 to discharge the heat transfer fluid or high-temperature heat sources after heat exchange.

A first connecting pipe 16 is provided on the bottom surface of the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15, and is connected to the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15 for discharging and introducing liquid; a second connecting pipe 17 is provided at the bottom of the two first connecting pipes 16 for connecting the two first connecting pipes 16, so as to realize the conveying of liquid in the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15 in the connecting tank 2. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5A modular multi-stage heat exchange reboiler, further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1, allows the liquid requiring reboiling to enter the first tank 1 through the inlet 6 of the first end cap 4 and flow into the heat exchange tube 12 inside the first tank 1. Simultaneously, a higher-temperature heat exchanger enters the tank through the inlet 8 on the top surface of the first tank 1, exchanging heat with the liquid inside the heat exchange tube 12 outside the tube, preheating the liquid to a certain temperature. The preheated heat exchanger is discharged from the outlet 9 at the right end of the top surface of the first tank 1. Since the connecting tank 2 is connected to the first tank 1 and the second tank 3 via flanges and sealed with sealing rings, the preheated liquid enters the first baffle trough 14 inside the connecting tank 2, then exits through the first connecting pipe 16 at the bottom of the first baffle trough 14, and is then transported through the second connecting pipe 17 to the first connecting pipe 16 at the bottom of the second baffle trough 15, and finally enters the second baffle trough 15 of the connecting tank 2. Liquid flows from the second baffle 15 into the heat exchange tube 12 inside the second tank body 3, which is connected to the connecting tank 2. At this time, a high heat source enters the second tank body 3 from the inlet 8 on the top surface, and undergoes secondary heat exchange with the preheated liquid within the heat exchange tube 12. Because the liquid has been preheated, the temperature difference between it and the high heat source is reduced, thereby reducing thermal stress. Finally, the liquid is heated to vaporization by the high heat source in the heat exchange tube 12 inside the second tank body 3 and discharged through the vent 7 on the side of the second end cap 5. The high heat source, after heat exchange, is discharged from the outlet 9 at the right end of the top surface of the second tank body 3. This multi-stage heat exchange method with a preheating stage solves the problem of traditional reboilers lacking an effective material preheating stage.
[0028] In summary:
[0029] 1. The reboiler introduces the liquid to be reboiled into the heat exchange tube 12 inside the first tank 1 through the inlet 6 of the first end cap 4. Simultaneously, a higher-temperature heat source enters from the water inlet 8 of the first tank 1, exchanging heat with the liquid inside the heat exchange tube 12, thus preheating the liquid. Because the connecting tank 2 is flange-connected and sealed to both the first tank 1 and the second tank 3, the preheated liquid sequentially passes through the first baffle 14, the first connecting pipe 16, the second connecting pipe 17, and back to the first connecting pipe 16 before entering the second baffle 15 and then flowing into the heat exchange tube 12 of the second tank 3. At this point, a high-temperature heat source enters from the water inlet 8 on the top surface of the second tank 3, exchanging heat with the preheated liquid, reducing thermal stress. Finally, the liquid is heated to vaporization in the heat exchange tube 12 of the second tank 3 and discharged through the outlet 7, solving the problem of traditional reboilers lacking an effective material preheating stage.
