[0038] Heating holes are provided inside the casing wall, and the heating device supplies heat to the casing through these holes; for example Figure 6 As shown, the side wall 11 is provided with multiple heating holes, and multiple heating rods 18 are placed in the heating holes. The multiple heating holes are evenly distributed on the side wall 11. Schematic, the number of heating holes is four.
[0039] like Figure 6-9 As shown, cooling holes are provided inside the shell wall, and the cooling device provides cooling to the shell through the cooling holes. There are four cooling holes in total, namely the first hole 22, the second hole 24, the third hole 26, and the fourth hole 28, which are evenly distributed on the side wall 11.
[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the shell includes a bottom surface 12, side walls 11, and a top cover 13. The bottom surface 12, side walls 11, and top cover 13 all have a certain wall thickness. The shell is made of a metal with excellent thermal conductivity, typically stainless steel. Illustratively, the entire exchange vessel is also meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel, with a designed maximum pressure capacity of 3625 psi.
