RE: Heat Recuperators
RE: Heat Recuperators
There are two types of Heat Recuperators, viz: Tubular Heat Recuperator and High Temp. Insulated Heat Recuperator.
Now I want to know, How Heat Recuperator actually works? i.e. the Source will be Flue Gases but what will be the Sink and how it can be used for reclaiming the heat?

The basic function is to reduce the final flue outlet temperature from the combustion process / furnace.
Besides combustion air, it is also used for preheating other gases and mediums like air for drying, combustion air for another process, low C.V. Gases, Nitrogen and other inert gases or gaseous mixtures for protective atmosphere furnaces, etc.
Recuperators are commercially classified in many manners -
1. Depending on the principle methods of heat transfer used - Radiation, Convection, Combination, etc.
2. Depending the material of construction, like Ceramic, Metallic, etc.
and many other names.
It is also used as pure hot air generators or Indirect fired Air Preheaters.
