Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) significantly threaten the atmospheric environment. Currently, common methods for the recovery and treatment of VOCs include adsorption, solution absorption, photocatalytic oxidation, and high-temperature oxidation. Among them, the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) is a scheme for high-temperature oxidation treatment of VOCs, which applies aerospace heat transfer and combustion technology to the treatment of VOCs, and the removal efficiency of VOCs can reach over 99%. Considering the high temperature and possible instantaneous overpressure during the combustion process, a three-dimensional flow model of the bottom air distribution chamber and heat storage chamber was established to solve the technical difficulties of the gas flow field in the existing RTO and improve the safety and stability of the overall flow. Simulated the gas flow field and analysed the distribution pattern of the gas flow rate. In response to the uneven distribution of airflow caused by the pipeline layout, orifice plates were installed at the bottom of the furnace, and various orifice plate designs were considered. The results indicate that adding slanted orifice plates can improve flow conditions and enhance safety while meeting practical needs.
