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.
