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.
Ceramic media life expectancy.
The rto heat recovery media is the ceramic materials used to recover and exchange waste heat.
Rto media optimize your regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto performance with saint gobain norpro s advanced heat transfer media.
During the voc destruction process ceramic media is used to maintain the heat.
What is ceramic media and what is it used for.
The condition of a regenerative thermal oxidizer s rto ceramic media is crucial to system performance.
Each rto system incorporates specialized ceramic media in the regenerator heat transfer bed to allow thermal rate efficiencies in excess of 95.
The advantages of this type of media are 1 ease of installation and removal.
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.
As well the ceramic media used in the regenerator makes the triton rto the most effective air pollution control equipment in the world.
Saint gobain norpro has developed and manufactured more heat transfer media than any other company in the world.
Today we would like to look at the different types of ceramic media used and explore how they affect rto operation.
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.
Thermal heat transfer ceramic media.
Effective ceramic media enable the rto to function correctly and a well functioning system supports continuing operations along with environmental compliance.
Note that the most common form of random packing is the saddle see photo although there are several other shapes that are sometimes employed.
Each cpi regenerative thermal oxidizer system is designed around the particular ceramic heat transfer matrix recommended for the application.
Random packing was the first type of ceramic media used in rto applications and is still used today in certain applications.
