How to perform routine checks on RTO with heat recovery systems?
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) are widely used in various industries as a pollution control device. An RTO with heat recovery system is highly efficient and can recover up to 95% of the heat generated during the oxidation process. However, like any other equipment, RTOs with heat recovery systems require routine checks and maintenance to ensure optimal performance. In this blog post, we will discuss how to perform routine checks on RTO with heat recovery systems.
1. Check the Temperature of Inlet Air
The temperature of the inlet air is an essential parameter that can affect the performance of RTO. It is crucial to monitor the temperature of the inlet air regularly. The optimal temperature range for inlet air is between 800¡ãF and 1,500¡ãF. If the temperature falls below 800¡ãF, the RTO may not achieve the required destruction efficiency. On the other hand, if the temperature is above 1,500¡ãF, it may cause thermal stress on the RTO’s ceramic media, leading to damage.
2. Check the Pressure Drop
Pressure drop is another critical parameter that indicates the condition of the RTO’s ceramic media. The pressure drop across the RTO should be stable and within the recommended range. A sudden increase in pressure drop may indicate that the ceramic media is clogged or damaged. In contrast, a sudden decrease in pressure drop may indicate air leakage or improper valve operation.
3. Check the Flow Rate
The flow rate is the amount of air that passes through the RTO. It is crucial to monitor the flow rate to ensure that the RTO is operating at the design capacity. A low flow rate can lead to incomplete oxidation, while a high flow rate can cause thermal stress on the RTO’s ceramic media.
4. Check the Valves and Dampers
The valves and dampers play a critical role in the operation of the RTO. It is essential to check the valves and dampers regularly to ensure that they are operating correctly. Improper valve or damper operation can cause airflow imbalance, leading to incomplete oxidation and decreased destruction efficiency.
5. Check the Ceramic Media
The ceramic media is the heart of the RTO. It is necessary to inspect the ceramic media regularly to ensure that it is in good condition. Any damage or clogging of the ceramic media can significantly affect the performance of the RTO. Over time, the ceramic media may require replacement, which can be a costly repair.
6. Check the Burner System
The burner system is responsible for heating the inlet air to the required temperature. It is essential to check the burner system regularly to ensure that it is operating correctly. A malfunctioning burner system can cause incomplete oxidation and decreased destruction efficiency. Moreover, a faulty burner system can be dangerous and cause explosions or fires.
7. Check the Heat Recovery System
The heat recovery system recovers the heat generated during the oxidation process and uses it to preheat the inlet air. It is essential to check the heat recovery system regularly to ensure that it is operating correctly. A malfunctioning heat recovery system can reduce the energy efficiency of the RTO and, consequently, increase operating costs.
8. Check the Electrical System
The electrical system of the RTO is responsible for controlling the operation of the equipment. It is crucial to check the electrical system regularly to ensure that it is operating correctly. A malfunctioning electrical system can cause improper valve or damper operation, leading to incomplete oxidation and decreased destruction efficiency. Moreover, an electrical malfunction can be dangerous and cause fires or explosions.
In conclusion, performing routine checks on RTO with heat recovery systems is crucial to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and safety. Regular monitoring and maintenance of critical parameters such as temperature, pressure drop, flow rate, valves and dampers, ceramic media, burner system, heat recovery system, and electrical system can prevent costly repairs and ensure long-term reliability.
