A plurality of heat transfer medium require correspondingly a plurality of heat transfer medium inlets and heat transfer medium outlets, so as to enable the different heat transfer medium to flow in the corresponding heat exchange tubes. The heat transfer medium currently uses CO2 gas (with a usual operating pressure of 0.19 Mpa), H2S tail gas of concentration tower (with a usual operating pressure of 0.08 Mpa) and synthesis gas (with a usual operating pressure of 5.0 Mpa). The feed gas at 40° C. and 5.5 Mpa will enter the feed gas cooler on the housing side and be cooled to the temperature between −13° C. and −20° C. by the heat exchanger.

That is, it's necessary to shape the housing of the heat exchanger into a high-pressure-resistant container with thick walls and use thick boards as the board of the heat exchanger. Obviously, a cooler in such structure will increase the manufacturing cost of the cooler, and it will lead to high investment cost.
