Abstract
A regenerative thermal oxidizer purifies a polluted gas by oxidizing a volatile organic compound (VOC) contained in the polluted gas at a high temperature by using an amount of heat of the polluted gas.
Claims7
A regenerative thermal oxidizer that supplies an air to be purified, into a chamber though an inlet pipe, and supplies a purge air as through a purge pipe to the chamber, and purifies the air in the chamber by using a combustion oxidization method and discharges the purified gas through an outlet pipe, the regenerative thermal oxidizer comprising:
- an upper plate that is coupled to a lower portion of the chamber and comprises an upper inlet through which the air supplied to the chamber passes, an upper purge port through which a purge air supplied to the chamber passes, and an upper outlet through which an air purified in the chamber passes to be discharged, wherein the upper inlet, the upper purge port, and the upper outlet are sequentially radially disposed;
- a lower plate that is coupled under the upper plate and comprises a lower inlet that is formed at a position corresponding to the upper inlet and connected to the inlet pipe, a lower purge port that is formed at a position corresponding to the upper purge port and is connected to the purge pipe, and a lower outlet that is formed at a position corresponding to the upper outlet and is connected to the outlet pipe;
- a middle plate that has a planar disk shape and is disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate, and comprises a middle inlet formed at a position corresponding to the upper inlet, a middle purge port formed at a position corresponding to the upper purge port, and a middle outlet formed at a position corresponding to the upper outlet;
- an upper rail set comprising a first upper rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the upper inlet, a second upper rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the upper purge port, and a third upper rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the upper outlet, wherein the upper rail set is coupled to a lower surface of the upper plate so as to tightly seal a gap between the upper plate and the middle plate;
- a lower rail set comprising a first lower rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the middle inlet, a second lower rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the middle purge port, and a third lower rail that is in a ring shape and formed to surround an outer circumference of the middle outlet, wherein the lower rail set is coupled to a lower surface of the middle plate so as to tightly seal a gap between the lower plate and the middle plate;
- an upper rail cover set comprising a first upper rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the first upper rail is seated in the first upper rail cover, a second upper rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the second upper rail is seated in the second upper rail cover, and a third upper rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the third upper rail is seated in the third upper rail cover, the upper rail cover set being coupled to an upper surface of the middle plate;
- a lower rail cover set comprising a first lower rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the first lower rail is seated in the first lower rail cover, a second lower rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the second lower rail is seated in the second lower rail cover, and a third lower rail cover that is in a ring shape and formed such that the third lower rail is seated in the third lower rail cover, the lower rail cover set being coupled to an upper surface of the lower plate;
- and
- a rotating unit connected to the middle plate and configured to rotate the middle plate.
