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.
