Kettle-type reboiler

A kettle reboiler is a type of heat exchanger used for vaporizing fluids in the petrochemical and chemical industries. It operates by heating a fluid, typically through a steam or hot water supply, in a container with a separate vapor space. The heated fluid then evaporates and rises to the top, where it is collected as vapor. Kettle reboilers are commonly used for distillation processes, where they help separate mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
