[0004] The utility model adopts the technical scheme that:

[0007] A plurality of electric heating pipes supported by a plurality of baffles are arranged in the inner cavity of the shell; the power connection ends of the plurality of electric heating pipes are connected with an explosion-proof junction box through the front end of the shell;

[0008] An annular collecting pipe II is arranged on the outer side of the front part of the shell, a medium inlet is arranged on the outer side of the annular collecting pipe II, and the inner side of the annular collecting pipe II is connected with three inlet pipes arranged on the jacket and mutually forming an angle of 120º; the medium inlet is communicated with the inner cavity of the jacket through the inner cavity of the annular collecting pipe II and the inlet pipes;

[0009] Three main medium inlets corresponding to the inlet pipes and mutually forming an angle of 120º are formed in the front part of the shell, and the main medium inlets form a certain angle with the shell wall; the inner cavity of the jacket is communicated with the inner cavity of the shell through the main medium inlets;

[0010] A sub-medium inlet is formed in the shell wall on the two sides of the bottom of each baffle, and the inner cavity of the jacket is communicated with the inner cavity of the shell through the sub-medium inlet;
