RTO Inspection

January 2022

Klobucar Engineering performed inspections of two RTO units for an automotive painting operation. This work included off-line internal inspection and on-line data collection. The off-line inspection included the dampers, media cold face, media hot face, plenums, fans, flexible connectors, and combustion chamber. The on-line inspection involved taking temperature and airflow data to determine the pressure drop and thermal efficiency of the units. A report summarizing the findings was provided including deficiencies found along with recommendations for corrective action.
