AM Monday – Key Features: Ceramic Heat Exchange Media

October 20, 2025

High Thermal Efficiency: Recovers and stores heat to reduce fuel consumption.

Durable Construction: Made from advanced ceramics to withstand high temperatures and thermal cycling.

Optimized Airflow: Engineered geometry ensures even heat distribution and minimal pressure drop.

Enhanced VOC Destruction: Maximizes thermal recovery for complete oxidation in the combustion chamber.

Seamless RTO Integration: Works efficiently with bypass valves and the combustion chamber to boost overall system performance.

Cause of Issues:

• Particulate buildup: Dust, process fines, or condensates from solvents settle in the media, reducing airflow.
• Chemical attack: Acidic or reactive compounds from VOC-laden air degrade or crack ceramic material.
• Thermal shock: Sudden temperature changes or improper startup/shutdown cycles cause cracking or breakage.
• Settling or channeling: Over time, uneven packing of the media can create airflow bypass channels, reducing thermal efficiency.

Consequences:

• Increased pressure drop across the media → higher fan/motor energy consumption.
• Reduced heat recovery → higher fuel consumption.
• Lower VOC destruction efficiency → regulatory non-compliance.

Preventive Maintenance:

• Conduct periodic media washouts or bake-outs depending on residue type.
• Inspect for cracks, chemical degradation, or uneven settling.
• Replace damaged or worn-out ceramic media to maintain thermal efficiency.
