Abstract (en)

A recuperator (100) comprising: a heat exchange assembly comprising a plurality of heat exchange plates (200); an inlet for a first fluid (101), and an outlet for said first fluid (102); an inlet for a second fluid (103) and an outlet for said second fluid (104); a plurality of first fluid channels, extending along a plurality of first paths between the inlet for the first fluid (101) and the outlet for the first fluid (102); a plurality of second fluid channels extending along a plurality of second paths between the inlet for the second fluid (103) and the outlet for the second fluid (104); characterised in that said plurality of first fluid channels are arranged side by side with and to follow closely said plurality of second fluid channels, such that said first fluid flowing in said plurality of first fluid channels flows adjacent and in an opposite direction to said second fluid flowing in said plurality of second fluid channels, said first and second channels separated by at least one said heat exchange plate (200) such that heat transfers through said heat transfer plate between said first and second fluids.
