Kettle Type Reboiler Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

The high level of vaporization makes it prone to fouling, and these reboilers are costly because of their large shell size and maintenance requirements.

Reboilers are heat exchangers commonly employed to supply heat to the lower section of industrial distillation columns. They heat the liquid from the base of a distillation column, causing it to vaporize and creating vapors that are then directed back into the column to facilitate the distillation process.
