Regenerators as compared to recuperators for the same duty_________________?

Correct answer: C. Involve higher initial cost

  • A. Store smaller quantity of waste heat
  • B. Are lighter & compact
  • C. Involve higher initial cost
  • D. All A., B. & C.

Explanation

A regenerator uses refractory checkerwork to store heat cyclically and generally needs a heavier, more expensive arrangement than a recuperator for the same duty. It does not store a smaller heat quantity or generally offer the lighter, more compact construction stated in the other options.
