REGENERATIVE THERMAL OXIDIZER

摘要

The invention provides an improved regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) comprising two or three regenerators (heat exchangers) and combustion chamber. A centrifuga l gas motor, being connected to combustion chamber, generates mechanical energy du e to expansion of hot gas. A fan compresses relatively cold process gas to overco me pressure losses in RTO and develop additional pressure to be used by a centrifugal gas motor. The mechanical energy generated by a centrifugal gas motor exceeds additional power consumption by a fan due to higher volume flow of hot gas. It results in significant net savings in power consumption, and, in some cases, in generation of additional power.
