By arranging the heat exchanger 4, the high-temperature waste gas generated during the production of sodium silicate by the kiln body 1 can be used for heat recovery, and the heat of the high-temperature waste gas can be used to heat the water in the heat exchanger 4. The heated hot water can be used as domestic water or industrial water, saving part of the energy consumed for heating water. Water can be supplied into the heat exchanger 4 through the water inlet pipe 6, and the water outlet pipe 8 can be used to discharge the heated water. By arranging the ventilation pipe 7, since it takes a certain time to heat the water in the heat exchanger 4 to the required temperature, and to avoid cold water from entering during water discharge, the water is discharged first, and then water is supplied through the water inlet pipe 6. Therefore, air needs to be supplied into the heat exchanger 4 through the ventilation pipe 7 during water discharge to avoid water from being unable to be discharged. In addition, the ventilation pipe 7 is also needed to discharge the gas when the water is discharged and then supplied.

Since the kiln body 1 needs to maintain a slight positive pressure during the reaction, the exhaust port 3 is controlled by the pressure relief valve 9, so that the slight positive pressure in the kiln can be maintained. Through the spring 13 and the sealing block 14, the pressure in the kiln body 1 can be pushed to compress the spring 13 when the pressure exceeds the preset pressure by the elastic pressure of the spring 13, so that the gas in the kiln enters the pressure relief valve 9 through the air inlet hole 11, and then enters the exhaust pipe 5 through the air outlet hole 12 in the pressure relief valve 9.

By arranging the second valve 21, it only needs to be opened when water needs to be added, and the heat exchange chamber 16 is watered through the water inlet pipe 6. By arranging the third valve 22, the third valve 22 can be opened when water is added and drained, and the water is added and drained smoothly through the entry and exit of the gas.
[0025] The temperature sensor 23 is arranged in the heat exchange chamber 16. By arranging the temperature sensor 23, the water temperature in the heat exchange chamber 16 can be monitored.
