TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to photovoltaic technical field, especially relate to a heat energy utilization system between materials in cold hydrogenation process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cold hydrogenation is an important process link of producing trichlorosilane, and a large amount of energy is consumed to maintain certain temperature and pressure conditions in the reaction process, so as to promote the smooth progress of the reaction. For example, hydrogen and silicon tetrachloride raw materials need to be heated from low temperature to high temperature step by step before entering the vaporizer, and this process needs to consume a large amount of external energy, which increases the production cost. However, with the fluctuation of energy market and the increasing demand for energy, the cost of enterprises to obtain external energy (such as electricity, natural gas, etc.) gradually rises. For trichlorosilane production enterprises, energy cost accounts for a large proportion in the total cost, so reducing energy consumption and cost has become the focus of enterprises.
[0003] The perforation problem of the low-pressure steam generator and the crude distillation column reboiler in the cold hydrogenation section in normal production is attributed to the low-pressure steam generator. Since the steam required by the crude distillation column reboiler is generated by the low-pressure steam generator, after the low-pressure steam generator is perforated, the material gas meets hot water to form acid, thereby causing corrosion to the low-pressure steam pipeline and the reboiler, greatly shortening the service life of the equipment pipeline.

[0025] The preferred scheme is as shown in Figure 1 A heat energy utilization system between materials in cold hydrogenation process, comprising:
[0026] 1) Connection mode: remove the original low-pressure steam generator, and add a shell-and-tube silicon tetrachloride (STC) heat exchanger and a shell-and-tube hydrogen (H2) heat exchanger. The shell inlet of the STC heat exchanger is connected to the crude trichlorosilane separation tower, and the shell outlet is connected to the H2 heat exchanger and the crude trichlorosilane separation reflux tank 3; the tube inlet of the STC heat exchanger is connected to the STC feed pump, and the tube outlet is connected to the STC preheater. The shell inlet of the H2 heat exchanger is connected to the STC heat exchanger, and the shell outlet is connected to the crude trichlorosilane separation reflux tank 3 and the primary cooler; the tube inlet of the H2 heat exchanger is connected to the H2 preheater, and the tube outlet is connected to the STC gasifier.
[0027] 2) Heat exchange process: heat exchange between high-temperature material gas from the top of the crude trichlorosilane separation tower and low-temperature silicon tetrachloride raw material from the STC feed pump to increase the temperature of the silicon tetrachloride raw material, thereby reducing the high-pressure steam consumption of the silicon tetrachloride preheater 1. Similarly, the hydrogen heat exchanger 5 exchanges heat between the material gas and the raw material hydrogen to reduce the high-pressure steam consumption of the circulating hydrogen heater.
[0028] 3) Material flow: When starting up for the first time, close 4# valve and 3# valve, so that the silicon tetrachloride raw material from the STC feed pump directly enters the STC preheater; close 7# valve and 8# valve, so that the hydrogen raw material from the circulating hydrogen compressor directly enters the H2 preheater. When entering the production stage, close 2# valve, so that the silicon tetrachloride raw material from the STC feed pump first flows through the STC heat exchanger for heat exchange and then enters the STC preheater for temperature rise; close 6# valve, so that the hydrogen raw material from the circulating hydrogen compressor first flows through the H2 heat exchanger for heat exchange and then enters the H2 preheater for temperature rise. If problems such as failure of the STC heat exchanger and the H2 heat exchanger occur, close 3# valve, 4# valve, 7# valve and 8# valve, so that the silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen raw materials directly enter the preheater.

At the same time, it avoids the perforation of the low-pressure steam generator and the adverse effects on related equipment pipes from the source. This not only reduces the failure rate of the equipment and prolongs the service life of the equipment, but also eliminates the risk of material leakage and system emergency shutdown caused by heat exchanger perforation, thereby improving the safety and stability of the entire cold hydrogenation system.
