Frequently asked questions _ Recuperator
What is the FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator?
By recovering exhaust heat, recuperators can greatly improve fuel efficiency in gas turbine engines. The FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator features a revolutionary heat exchanger design that employs a highly-effective counter-flow plate-fin heat exchange matrix in a construction that avoids damaging thermal stresses.
What benefits does the FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator offer?
The FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator offers exceptional durability, compact sizing, zero leakage design, scalability based on application, and a competitive life-cycle cost.
Where can the FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator be integrated?
The FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator can be integrated into 20 kW to 20 MW with pressure ratios from 3:1 to 20:1. Inherent to the design is the ability to vary size to meet performance requirements. Combined with a variable stack height, the FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator can easily be adapted to different engines.
What are some key features of the FlexEnergy Inc Recuperator?
Gas inlet can handle temperatures up to 1200°F (higher depending on gas chemistry and life requirements), pressure up to 280 psig, and uses 347 stainless steel for most applications (IN625 available for higher temperature environments).
