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.

Methods for reacting compounds

Reactor apparatus and methods for reacting compounds

A method for machining a profile into a silicon seed rod using a machine. The silicon seed rod is capable of being used in a chemical vapor deposition polysilicon reactor. The machine includes a plurality of grinding wheels. The method includes grinding a v-shaped profile into a first end of the silicon seed rod with one of the plurality of grinding wheels and grinding a conical profile in a second end of the silicon seed rod with another of the plurality of grinding wheels.

Method for machining seed rods for use in a chemical vapor deposition polysilicon reactor

A tool for harvesting polycrystalline silicon-coated rods from a chemical vapor deposition reactor includes a body including outer walls sized for enclosing the rods within the outer walls. Each outer wall includes a door for allowing access to at least one of the rods.
