What is the difference between boiler and reboiler?
In boiler the feed is only liquid but in reboiler the feed may be any liquid. second is that, reboiler do partial vapourization but the boiler does complete vapourization
What is the difference between a partial reboiler and a total reboiler?
A partial reboiler only partial vaporizes the bottoms liquid coming in. A total reboiler would completely vaporize this stream. A partial reboiler is advantageous because it allows dissolved light components to return to the column while minimizing the amount of heavy components that return to the column. This creates a higher purity of your desired product in the distillate stream.
