One of the most important means of saving fuel is the use of recuperators to recover heat for preheating the combustion air.

A heat recovery system for exhaust gases from a glass furnace often consists of a recuperator i.e. a heat exchanger absorbing and transferring heat into combustion air to the burners.

The recuperator captures waste heat in flue gases and recycle it back to the process in the shortest and thereby the most cost and energy efficient way.

Edmeston INKA® recuperators have been developed from experience gained from over 50 years of service to the glass industry. This makes Edmeston one of the most competent suppliers in the field of metallic recuperators. There are mainly two different types of recuperators and combinations of these.
