The cold water after heat exchange is heated and flows to the left cylinder 11 through the heat exchange tube 3, and is finally heated into steam and discharged through the steam outlet 17 connected to the left cylinder 11. At the same time, the temperature of the heat medium after heat exchange decreases and flows out through the heat medium outlet 19.

[0026] Manholes 110 are provided on the left cylinder 11 and the right cylinder 12 respectively, which facilitates the cleaning of the interior.
[0027] In use, cold water enters the right cylinder 12 through the cold water inlet 16 of the right end cap 15 and flows to the left cylinder 11 through the heat exchange tube 3; the heat medium enters the shell side of the middle cylinder 13 through the heat medium inlet 18 and is guided by the upper baffle 4 and the lower baffle 5 to form an S-shaped flow path, and fully exchanges heat with the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 3; after absorbing heat, the cold water vaporizes and the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 17, and the cooled heat medium flows out through the heat medium outlet 19.
