SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS AND METHODS OF USING SUCH HEAT EXCHANGERS

摘要

Shell and tube heat exchangers that include a baffle arrangement that improves the temperature profile and flow pattern throughout the exchanger and/or that are integral with a reaction vessel are disclosed. Methods for using the exchangers including methods that involve use of the exchanger and a reaction vessel to produce a reaction product gas containing trichlorosilane are also disclosed.
