[0002] The processing capacity of each tail gas recovery device in the original polysilicon production process is 25,000 tons, and the supporting size is The adsorption tower is mainly used to purify the hydrogen in the mixed gas. The processing capacity of each tail gas recovery device has increased to 50,000 tons. If the adsorption tower of the same size as the original process is used, the number of adsorption towers needs to be increased, the floor space needs to be increased, the number of instruments needs to be increased, and the operation needs to be more frequent. In order to avoid increasing the floor space and simplify the operation, the design size of the plant is adsorption tower; however, due to the larger diameter of the adsorption tower, if the original three air inlets of the adsorption tower are used, there will be a deviation phenomenon. The more uniform the flow field distribution of the adsorption cross section is, the higher the adsorption efficiency is, and the deviation flow will affect the adsorption efficiency. In addition, the cooling water coil inside the adsorption tower has a longer pipe path, which will cause uneven heat exchange. Utility model content:
