Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exhaust gas recovery technology, specifically to a water collection pipe for a polycrystalline silicon exhaust gas recovery adsorption column. Background Technology
[0002] The recovery of exhaust gas in the polysilicon production process is usually achieved by using an adsorption column water system. The heat exchange performance of the adsorption column directly affects the equipment heating efficiency and energy consumption control.
[0003] Currently, existing adsorption columns use water collection pipes for water distribution. These pipes transfer heat through multiple parallel-connected finned heat exchange tubes. The specific technical principle is that cooling water exchanges heat with the external exhaust gas as it flows through the finned heat exchange tubes, ensuring temperature uniformity across the coils by rationally distributing the water volume. However, existing water collection pipes have the following problems:
[0004] 1. Imbalance in water distribution between inner and outer heat exchange tubes, resulting in severe flow deviation. Although the inner and outer heat exchange tubes have the same diameter, their resistance distribution is uneven. Water will preferentially flow to the inner heat exchange tubes with lower resistance, while the outer heat exchange tubes will have insufficient water distribution, resulting in local heat exchange temperature differences of up to 15-20℃. If the diameter of the inner heat exchange tubes is reduced to increase its resistance, it will easily lead to the risk of pipe blockage.
[0005] 2. Uneven heat exchange between the inner and outer heat exchange tubes affects the adsorption column's treatment of exhaust gas. Imbalance in water distribution between the inner and outer heat exchange tubes directly causes localized lag in heat exchange tube heating, resulting in uneven heat exchange. This leads to a 20%–30% increase in energy consumption of the adsorption column and a decrease in exhaust gas treatment efficiency. If an asymmetric pipe layout is used, it is further limited by the spatial structure of the adsorption column, making it difficult to achieve synchronous balance of water flow across multiple heat exchange tubes.

[0049] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0050] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] See Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a water collection pipe for a polycrystalline silicon tail gas recovery adsorption column, comprising:
[0052] The inlet manifold 100 has multiple inlet bends 110 connected to the bottom of the adsorption column (not shown in the figure), used to distribute the inlet water volume of the adsorption column; and
[0053] The water outlet manifold 200 has multiple water outlet bends 210 that are connected to the bottom of the adsorption column (not shown in the figure) to distribute the water output of the adsorption column.
[0054] Among them, the outlet bend 210 is higher than the inlet bend 110 (i.e., located above the inlet bend 110), the outermost inlet bend 110 has at least one more inlet than the other inlet bends 110, and the outermost outlet bend 210 has at least one more outlet than the other outlet bends 210.
[0055] Specifically, the inlet bends 110 are arranged concentrically at equal intervals in four rings. From the inside out, the first and second rings of inlet bends 110 each have one inlet, the third ring has two inlets, and the fourth ring (the outermost ring) has three inlets. Similarly, the outlet bends 210 are arranged concentrically at equal intervals in four rings. From the inside out, the first and second rings of outlet bends 210 each have one outlet, the third ring has two outlets, and the fourth ring (the outermost ring) has three outlets. By using different numbers of inlets and outlets, the effects of uneven resistance distribution between the inner and outer rings can be eliminated, ensuring a reasonable distribution of water entering each ring of inlet bends 110 and outlet bends 210. Verification showed that the uniformity of water distribution in the inner and outer ring inlet bends 110 and outlet bends 210 was improved to over 95%, the heat exchange temperature difference between the inner and outer rings was ≤5℃, the overall energy consumption of the adsorption column was reduced by 18%–25%, and the tail gas treatment efficiency was increased by 12%–15%. In other words, the additional inlet and outlet in the outermost ring allows for a more even distribution of water into each ring's inlet bend 110 and outlet bend 210, preventing uneven flow and heat exchange, thus reducing adsorption column energy consumption and improving tail gas treatment efficiency.
[0056] See Figures 2-5 As shown, each inlet is connected to an inlet header 130 via a first inlet branch pipe 120. The inlet header 130 is located below the inlet bend 110 and is used to introduce cooling water. Each outlet is connected to an outlet header 230 via a first outlet branch pipe 220. The outlet header 230 is located below the inlet bend 110 and above the inlet header 130 (i.e., diagonally above the inlet header 130) and is used to discharge cooling water. External cooling water flows from the inlet header 130 through the first inlet branch pipe 120 into the inlet bends 110 of each layer to achieve uniform distribution. Then, it flows from the bottom into the adsorption column to participate in the recovery of tail gas in the polysilicon production process. The cooling water flowing out from the bottom of the adsorption column can be evenly returned to the outlet bends 210 of each layer due to the presence of the first outlet branch pipe 220, and then collects in the outlet header 230 to be discharged outside the adsorption column.
[0057] Each concentric water inlet bend 110 is connected to the bottom of the adsorption column via several upward-extending second water inlet branch pipes 140, and each concentric water outlet bend 210 is connected to the bottom of the adsorption column via several upward-extending second water outlet branch pipes 240. Specifically, the inlet bend 110 and outlet bend 210 of the first ring are connected to the bottom of the adsorption column through 6 circumferentially distributed second inlet branch pipes 140 and second outlet branch pipes 240, respectively. The inlet bend 110 and outlet bend 210 of the second ring are connected to the bottom of the adsorption column through 12 circumferentially distributed second inlet branch pipes 140 and second outlet branch pipes 240, respectively. The inlet bend 110 and outlet bend 210 of the third ring are connected to the bottom of the adsorption column through 18 circumferentially distributed second inlet branch pipes 140 and second outlet branch pipes 240, respectively. The inlet bend 110 and outlet bend 210 of the fourth ring (i.e., the outermost ring) are connected to the bottom of the adsorption column through 24 spaced-apart second inlet branch pipes 140 and second outlet branch pipes 240, respectively. The cooling water in the inlet bends 110 of each ring flows into the adsorption column after passing through several second inlet branch pipes 140. The cooling water flowing out from the bottom of the adsorption column flows back into the outlet bends 210 of each ring after passing through several second outlet branch pipes 240.
[0058] Both the inlet bend 110 and the outlet bend 210 are C-shaped structures with notches, and the notches face different or opposite directions. The end of the inlet header 130 away from the notch of the inlet bend 110 is its inlet, and the end of the outlet header 230 away from the notch of the outlet bend 210 is its outlet. In this way, the inlet header 130 and the outlet header 230 can be staggered for easy maintenance.
[0059] The bending radius of the outermost inlet bend 110 is greater than that of the outermost outlet bend 210, the bending radius of the outermost outlet bend 210 is greater than that of the second outermost inlet bend 110, and the bending radius of the second outermost inlet bend 110 is greater than that of the second outermost outlet bend 210. Specifically, the bending radius of the inlet bend 110 in the fourth ring (outermost ring) is 1400mm, the bending radius of the inlet bend 110 in the third ring is 1050mm, the bending radius of the inlet bend 110 in the second ring is 700mm, and the bending radius of the inlet bend 110 in the first ring is 350mm; the bending radius of the outlet bend 210 in the fourth ring (outermost ring) is 1545.5mm, the bending radius of the outlet bend 210 in the third ring is 1195.5mm, the bending radius of the outlet bend 210 in the second ring is 845.5mm, and the bending radius of the outlet bend 210 in the first ring is 495.5mm. In this way, their projections on the horizontal plane are staggered and stacked vertically, conforming to the principle of low inlet and high outlet water flow, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of each connecting pipe.
[0060] In this embodiment, the inlet bend 110 and the outlet bend 210 have the same diameter, the first inlet branch pipe 120 and the first outlet branch pipe 220 have the same diameter, the inlet main pipe 130 and the outlet main pipe 230 have the same diameter, and the second inlet branch pipe 140 and the second outlet branch pipe 240 have the same diameter. Furthermore, the diameters of the second inlet branch pipe 140, the first inlet branch pipe 120, the inlet bend 110, and the inlet main pipe 130 increase sequentially. This results in low manufacturing costs.
[0061] The inlet manifold 100 and the outlet manifold 200 are made of the same material, Q345D. The inlet main pipe 130, the first inlet branch pipe 120, the inlet elbow 110 and the second inlet branch pipe 140 are welded and sealed in sequence, and the outlet main pipe 230, the first outlet branch pipe 220, the outlet elbow 210 and the second outlet branch pipe 240 are welded and sealed in sequence.
[0062] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
