To understand the importance of and use for ceramic media you must first understand how an rto works.
Use of ceramic media used in rto.
The triton ii series regenerative thermal oxidizers have a specialized polishing chamber which delivers more than 99 percent voc abatement.
Random packing was the first type of ceramic media used in rto applications and is still used today in certain applications.
The media support grid is referred to as the cold face because this area is exposed only to inlet and exhaust gas temperatures as compared to the hot face temperatures in the combustion chamber of the oxidizer.
Ceramic media life expectancy.
What is ceramic media and what is it used for.
Rto media optimize your regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto performance with saint gobain norpro s advanced heat transfer media.
The advantages of this type of media are 1 ease of installation and removal.
Each rto system incorporates specialized ceramic media in the regenerator heat transfer bed to allow thermal rate efficiencies in excess of 95.
The condition of a regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto ceramic media is crucial to system performance.
As well the ceramic media used in the regenerator makes the triton rto the most effective air pollution control equipment in the world.
Cpi rto systems can be designed using a layered structural ceramic media or a mix of structured and random media saddles depending on your application s requirements.
Each cpi regenerative thermal oxidizer system is designed around the particular ceramic heat transfer matrix recommended for the application.
Saint gobain norpro has developed and manufactured more heat transfer media than any other company in the world.
During the voc destruction process ceramic media is used to maintain the heat.
Thermal heat transfer ceramic media.
Between the cold face and the hot face is the ceramic heat exchanger column.
Since there are a number of suppliers available it would be wise to verify that your oxidizer vendor is providing ceramic media from a proven source that will allow the end user to purchase replacement media directly from the manufacturer if it ever becomes necessary.
Today we would like to look at the different types of ceramic media used and explore how they affect rto operation.
