This article reports that better low-temperature heat recovery, control over corrosion, deposition, air-to-gas leakage and lower NO{sub x} emissions are contributions to overall unit performance that are made by recuperative air heaters. Inherently low leakage makes recuperative air heaters preferred for use at industrial and smaller utility generating units, and the tubular type over flat-plate recuperative air heaters. Note that space becomes a limiting factor as boiler size increases, which accounts for the widespread use of the more compact rotary regenerative heater with today`s large utility boilers.
