Abstract
In order to destruct the volatile organic compounds (VOC), Babcock-Hitachi K. K. has been developing the regenerative catalytic oxidizer system (RCO). The regenerator in RCO is one of the most important components, which is required high heat transfer and hydrodynamic characteristics. Lath plate type regenerator was used because of enhanced heat transfer, and its heat transfer and pressure drop were measured by means of single blow method and manometer respectively. Performance of honeycomb type regenerator was also examined and compared with that of lath plate type.
