[0035] With reference to Figure 4 And Figure 5The inside of the condensing tank 4 is fixedly connected with the water inlet pipe 13, which is used to introduce cooling water to help the steam in the condensing tank 4 cool down quickly, thereby accelerating the liquefaction process of the steam. The inside of the condensing tank 4 is also fixedly connected with the drain pipe 18 for discharging the liquid formed after cooling to ensure that the liquid in the condensing tank 4 can flow out smoothly and avoid water accumulation affecting the condensation efficiency. The outer wall of the water inlet pipe 13 is fixedly connected with a plurality of communication pipes 14, which are used to connect the condensing tank 4 with other cooling system parts to ensure uniform distribution of cooling water.
