I would like to ask: why is the liquid hydrocarbon tank at the top of the stabilizer in the catalytic unit located above the liquid hydrocarbon cooler?

Why is the liquid hydrocarbon tank at the top of the stabilizer in the catalytic unit located above the liquid hydrocarbon cooler? Are there any specific requirements for arranging it this way? What could be the reason? This is the place where I work now, and I’m really curious; I’d appreciate some guidance
It’s thermal bypass control, that’s how the condensation path is designed
It is indeed a thermal bypass; then can the heat exchanger be placed above the tank? Why does it have to be below?
That’s how the thermal bypass control principle works. The heat exchanger is located at the bottom, which can reduce the height of the frame. The pressure difference between the heat exchanger and the reflux tank is used to control the heat exchange area.
