Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) can regenerate the heat of a large thermal mass and are an effective and fuel efficient option.<\/p>\n
Thermal oxidizers destroy toxic particulates in the air and volatile organic compounds often emitted in industrial process exhausts. They typically do this by capturing heat from an outgoing air stream to preheat incoming air. This often has the effect of reducing operating costs.<\/p>\n
The two most typical methods of reclaiming heat are regeneration and recuperation. When the heat contained within a large thermal mass is regenerated, a thermal oxidizer<\/a> employing this method is called a regenerative thermal oxidizer. Recuperation implies more of a direct heat transfer from the outgoing to the incoming air stream. When this method is used, the system is called a recuperative thermal oxidizer.<\/p>\n What happens with a regenerative thermal oxidizer is intriguing. Gas laden with volatile organic contaminants enters a Twin Bed RTO via an inlet manifold.
