Ceramic recuperators compared to metallic recuperators for the same duty_________________?

Correct answer: B. Occupy more space

  • A. Are lighter
  • B. Occupy more space
  • C. Are less costly
  • D. Have higher pressure differential between flue gas & air side

Explanation

Ceramic recuperators withstand higher temperatures but require thicker, more fragile construction and often have lower heat-transfer compactness than metallic units. For the same duty, this generally makes them occupy more space.
