Other crucial factors to consider are the impact of the heat-up time, the size of the housing, the pressure drop, chamber transfer valve(s) leakage, unburned VOC recovery media void area, the weight of the media, and velocity through the media. Additionally, factor in the type of solvent, the shell insulation, the cycle time, the combustion chamber temperature, the design thermal efficiency, the exhaust temperature swing, the product limitations, and the means of testing.
The point is that an RTO is more than a "box of rocks." It is born from the interface of hundreds of components, interrelationships, and design constraints generated by certain specifications. If the end user does not have a clear understanding of these intricate interrelationships, the RTO will truly be reduced to a "box of rocks."
