regeneratívregeneráló

regeneratívregeneráló is a Hungarian term that translates to "regenerative regenerator" in English. It refers to a type of heat exchanger or system designed for energy recovery through regeneration. In this process, heat is transferred from a hot exhaust stream to a cooler incoming stream by an intermediate medium. This intermediate medium, often a rotating wheel or a stationary matrix, is alternately exposed to the hot and cold streams, absorbing heat from one and releasing it to the other.

The primary function of a regeneratívregeneráló is to preheat incoming air or gas using the waste heat from outgoing air or gas. This significantly reduces the energy required for heating the incoming stream, leading to substantial energy savings and improved efficiency. These systems are commonly employed in industrial applications such as power plants, furnaces, incinerators, and chemical processing plants where large volumes of hot exhaust gases are produced. They are also found in some residential heating and ventilation systems, particularly heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs), although the term regeneratívregeneráló is more typically associated with larger industrial settings. The effectiveness of a regeneratívregeneráló depends on factors like the temperature difference between the streams, the heat capacity of the intermediate medium, and the flow rates.
