Abstract

Heat recovery efficiency is critical in the applications of regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). This study attempts to present a generalized mathematical model comprising all the parameters necessary to evaluate RTO performance for transient and stabilized conditions. The model includes governing equations for heat generation, heat degeneration and intermediate temperatures of the heat media in cyclic operation. The model derived expressions for all the necessary temperature parameters. The temperature parametric expressions presented are of useful in the design and evaluation of RTO performances. In addition, an expression for the evaluation of heat recovery efficiency is presented.
