As your process air enters the unit, it is directed over the corrugated plates in a counterflow direction to the heated air. Heat from the waste stream is absorbed by the plates and transferred to the cooler airstream... then exits the unit as recovered heat you can reuse or recycle. Airstream temperature can be as high as 1500°F. The unit is equipped with all welded bellows type internal expansion joints of a high-temperature alloy. This allows for the expected growth when operating at high temperatures. Four inches of high-temperature insulation reduces heat loss through the exterior stainless steel casing.

Get the added effectiveness provided by the 4" of high-temperature insulation with this recuperator. Designed for applications up to 1500°F, the insulated recuperator is constructed from special high-temperature alloys. The all welded assembly protects from airstream cross contamination. The insulation between the inner and outer casing of the unit greatly diminishes heat loss.

Roll-formed metallic internal expansion joints allow for the thermal expansion that accompanies high-temperature operation. Optional airflow configurations are available to fit the needs of your high- temperature thermal incinerators, furnaces and combustion preheat systems.

Individual plates are continuously welded to form a series of passages with a minimum 1/2" spacing between plates. Primary seal welds at each end of the unit separate the two airstreams, making the unit virtually leak-free. By utilizing different plate sizes, the heat transfer effectiveness range is 50% to +70%.
