Alias ceramic honeycomb for heat exchange includes ceramic honeycomb heat recovery bed, heat exchange bed, thermal storage & recovery ceramic media, heat exchange elements / media. Ceramic monoliths media evidently save energy in steel works, metallurgic industry, and also egenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO). Honeycomb monolith is the key components of the style furnace, it is extensively used in many kinds of heater, sirocco furnace, heat treatment furnace, cracking column, roaster, melting furnace, balance heating stove and etc. This technology can save more than 40-70% of energy.

With a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) device, It is also widely used in abatement of Volatile organic compounds (VOC) , hazardous air pollutants (HAP), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (Nox), organic particulate matter (OPM), HC nytron, SO2, odors, and other air toxics in oil and chemical industry. Dust burning stoves/incinerators and power plants also need ceramic honeycomb. An RTO device contains a ceramic heat exchanger bed which is used for the preheating and cooling of the waste gases before the gases enter and exit the combustion chamber, respectively.

Advantages over ceramic saddles and balls:

Compared with other ceramic media, such as saddles or ceramic balls, which have conventionally been used in RTOs, the honeycomb monolith includes a greater thermal efficiency and a lower pressure drop across the heat exchanger bed. The increase in thermal efficiency and lower pressure drop generally result in a smaller equipment design, lower capital costs and lower operating costs. Honeycomb ceramics provide a more efficient alternative by following reasons: cutting fan load for significant energy savings(low pressure drop owing to straight channels), less volume, thin wall thickness, faster in thermal exchange. Higher surface area means higher conversion efficiency in converters occupying small volumes. lighter weight, so less structural support is required.
