Kexing - Ceramic Honeycomb Heat Storage Media, Chemical Packing - Introduction to Kexing

Compared with other ceramic media, such as saddles or ceramic balls, which have conventionally been used in RTOs. The advantages of honeycomb monolith include a greater thermal efficiency and a lower pressure drop across the heat exchanger bed. The increase in thermal efficiency and lower pressure drop generally results in smaller equipment design, lower capital cost and lower operating cost. Honeycomb ceramic monolith serves as a more efficient alternative for the following reasons: cutting fan load for significant energy saving (low pressure drop owing to straight channels), less volume, thin wall thickness, faster in thermal exchange. Lighter weight, so less structural support is required. Above all, High specific surface area means high conversion efficiency in converters occupying small volumes. All these benefit, especially larger specific surface area make honeycomb ceramic the better performance media across industries.
