This report describes part of a comprehensive research effort performed to support the development of a ceramic recuperator and its companion high-temperature preheated combustion air burner. The system is designed to operate in a variety of industrial flue gas streams with exhaust temperatures up to 2500F. The recuperator design required the development of high-temperature compliant tube seals and the development of high-temperature compliant shell seals. Seals utilizing ceramic fiber and/or refractory mortar were successfully developed, resulting in air leak rates well below the design limit of 25 cu in/min for each joint.
