Some of the reasons why an RTO could suffer thermal efficiency losses include clogging or fouling of the heat recovery ceramic media. This is because dust particles and other contaminants would block the flow of air in the process hence less heat exchange between the exhaust and process air.

Poor sealing of valves as well as damaged seals…

The choice of fluid in heat recovery system will depend upon the source of heat, temperature, pressure, and the use of recovered heat energy. Water is one of the most popular fluids used in such applications owing to its good thermal conductivity and availability. Water can be heated for process use, heating purpose or even to generate…

An economizer plays an important role in waste heat recovery systems by capturing heat from hot exhaust gases and transferring it to another process before the gases leave the facility. In many industrial applications, the recovered heat is used to preheat boiler feedwater, combustion air, or other process fluids.

This reduces the amount of…

Selection of a proper exhaust filter to be used in “paint booth” will depend on the kind of paint being sprayed, amount of overspray being produced, and also the design of the exhaust air flow in the booth.

In most cases, fiberglass and artificial paint arrestor filters have been used in the spraying of paints for the collection of overspray.…
