Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waste heat recovery and utilization equipment, and in particular relates to a comprehensive waste heat utilization system in polysilicon production. Background Art
[0002] In the production of polysilicon, with the continuous increase in the output of polysilicon products in the reduction section and the decreasing steam consumption, the company's Phase I and Phase II projects currently have a surplus of 70t / h of steam. With the completion and commissioning of the Phase III project, the surplus steam will increase to about 132t / h.
[0003] To maintain system balance, existing technology requires cooling large amounts of steam through the primary reduction furnace, the chassis plate-and-frame heat exchanger, and the secondary reduction air cooler. This excess steam treatment not only wastes significant thermal energy but also consumes significant amounts of circulating water and electricity. As the plant expands, the overall system load increases. Furthermore, due to the limited capacity of the plate-and-frame heat exchanger and air cooler, the reduction section frequently experiences overpressure in the chassis water tank, which cannot be regulated. This leads to elevated chassis water temperatures and an increasing incidence of overheated return water vaporization, posing significant challenges to the safe and stable operation of the production system.
[0004] In the chemical production process, energy recovery and utilization is a crucial component for improving quality and reducing costs. In polysilicon production, heat recovery is particularly common in the recovery and hydrogenation stages, and is a crucial process for energy conservation and cost reduction. For example, in the traditional recovery process, hydrogen is purified using five stages of heat exchange before the compressor and six stages after the compressor, deep cooling the hydrogen to below -60°C. While existing technologies include heat recovery, the efficiency of recovering the cooling capacity of high-grade refrigerants is low. For example, there is no heat recovery between the fourth and fifth stages (which cool the material from -8°C to -35°C). Under this process, the load on the chiller corresponding to the deep refrigerant is very high. Because the heat exchanger in the previous stage needs to cool the material to a lower temperature, the load is transferred entirely to the high-grade refrigerant, placing relatively high demands on the chiller.
[0005] For example, in the condensation process of the cold hydrogenation section, the traditional process uses 33°C circulating water to cool the material, and then enters the -40°C deep cooling system after only one stage of heat exchange. The temperature difference between the circulating water and the -40°C refrigerant is about 70°C. Even if a first-stage intermediate heat exchange is used for recovery, less than 20% of the heat is recovered.
[0006] Therefore, it is still a major challenge for the industry to rationally, efficiently and continuously utilize waste heat in production, improve the heat recovery rate and achieve the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction. Utility Model Content
[0007] The utility model aims to solve the problems in the prior art of polysilicon production reduction tail gas recovery systems, low heat recovery rate in reduction tail gas recovery systems, and large consumption of high-grade deep refrigerant, which results in a large load on the electric ice machine corresponding to the high-grade deep refrigerant and high production costs.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:
[0009] The waste heat comprehensive utilization system in polysilicon production adds a -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger to the reduction tail gas recovery system, and / or the -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger is installed between the fourth-stage condenser and the fifth-stage condenser of the reduction tail gas recovery system;
[0010] And / or a -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger is added to the cold hydrogenation condensation system, and / or the -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger is installed between the circulating water cooler and the -40°C Freon condenser of the cold hydrogenation condensation system.
[0011] Furthermore, the fourth-stage condenser in the reduction tail gas recovery system is a condenser through which a -10°C Freon medium is passed, and the fifth-stage condenser is a condenser through which a -40°C Freon medium is passed.
[0012] Furthermore, the circulating water cooler of the cold hydrogenation condensation system is 33°C cooling water.
[0013] Furthermore, the medium inlet of the liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger is connected to a circulating water cooler through pipeline I, and the circulating water cooler is connected to a liquid ammonia generator containing ammonia and N,N-diethylaniline solution through pipeline II. A jacket or heating pipe is provided on the outside of the liquid ammonia generator, or a heating pipe is provided on the inside of the liquid ammonia generator, and the jacket or heating pipe is connected to a steam pipeline.
[0014] The medium outlet of the liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger is connected to an absorption device containing N,N-diethylaniline solution through pipeline III, and the outlet of the absorption device is connected to a booster pump and then to a liquid ammonia generator through pipeline IV.
[0015] Furthermore, the heating tube is a coil or a tube array.
[0016] Furthermore, a storage tank is provided between the circulating water cooler and the liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger.
[0017] Furthermore, the outside of the storage tank is coated with a heat insulation layer, and the outside of the heat insulation layer is provided with a heat preservation sleeve.
[0018] Furthermore, the liquid ammonia generator is provided with a liquid ammonia supply pipeline and a solvent supply pipeline.
[0019] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0020] First, this utility model proposes a comprehensive waste heat utilization system for polysilicon production. First, it introduces a heat exchanger using a liquid ammonia refrigerant at -15°C, increasing heat conversion efficiency from approximately 20% to approximately 50%, significantly improving heat utilization. This system improves existing polysilicon production reduction tail gas recovery systems, which suffer from low heat recovery rates and high usage of high-grade deep refrigerant, resulting in heavy loads on the corresponding electric refrigeration units, thereby reducing production costs.
[0021] 2. In the present invention, a new device for preparing -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant is proposed. The surplus steam generated by the polysilicon production system can be introduced into the steam pipeline, and the surplus steam can be used as power to prepare -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant for use in the system, which significantly reduces the power consumption cost, that is, reduces the operating cost of the heat exchange process.
[0022] 3. In this utility model, the fourth-stage condenser in the reduction tail gas recovery system is fed with -10°C Freon, and the fifth-stage condenser is fed with -40°C Freon. In this solution, an intermediate heat exchanger (liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger) using -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant is installed between the fourth and fifth-stage condensers, recovering approximately 50% of the heat. While maintaining the same final temperature drop, this reduces the use of -40°C cryogenic refrigerant by approximately 30%, lowering the load on the refrigeration unit corresponding to the -40°C refrigerant by approximately 80%, and reducing equipment operating costs.
[0023] 4. In the present invention, an intermediate heat exchanger (liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger) for -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant is added between the circulating water cooler and the -40°C Freon condenser in the cold hydrogenation condensation system, which can reduce the load of the -40°C cryogenic refrigerant by about 80% and reduce the power consumption of the -40°C electric ice machine by 80%.

In addition, the heating tube can be built-in or external to the liquid ammonia generator. The heating tube can be a coil or a tube. When a jacket is used to pass steam, an external jacket is generally used.
[0025] 6. In the present invention, a storage tank is provided between the circulating water cooler and the liquid ammonia refrigerant heat exchanger, which can be used to temporarily store -15°C liquid ammonia refrigerant to ensure stable delivery of refrigerant to the rear end.
[0026] 7. In the present invention, the outside of the storage tank is coated with a heat-insulating layer, and a heat-insulating sleeve is provided outside the heat-insulating layer to prevent the loss of cold.
[0027] 8.
