The present invention relates to a polysilicon production apparatus. The apparatus includes: a horizontal reaction tube positioned in an insulated tube and having an inlet port through which gaseous raw materials including silicon-containing reactant gases and a reducing gas are supplied, an outlet port through which residual gases exit, a reaction surface with which the gaseous raw materials come into contact, and a plurality of bottom openings through which molten polysilicon produced by the reactions of the gaseous raw materials is discharged; one or more internal structures placed in the horizontal reaction tube to provide additional reaction surfaces; and first heating means adapted to heat the reaction surface of the horizontal reaction tube. The present invention also relates to a method for the production of polysilicon using the apparatus.

Disclosed is a jacketed, tiered baffle, bioreactor tank comprising an outer cylindrical-shaped jacket and a cylindrical tank having an inner tank surface defining a chamber configured for supporting a flexible bag disposed within the chamber, and an outer tank surface having tiered baffles configured for routing a heat exchange fluid around the entirety of the outer tank surface, the cylindrical tank disposed axially within the outer cylindrical-shaped jacket. The outer cylindrical-shaped jacket is sealed to the cylindrical tank in a manner sufficient to prevent or minimize loss of the heat exchange fluid.

This disclosure describes an improved heat transfer system for use in reaction vessels used in chemical and biological processes. In one embodiment, a heat transfer baffle comprising two sub-assemblies adjoined to one another is provided.
