Boilers, furnaces and stoves and Recuperators and regenerators

Energy flows from boilers, furnaces and stoves to recuperators and regenerators; energy flows from recuperators and regenerators to boilers, furnaces and stoves; their prices have moved together.

Boilers, furnaces and stoves (energy) and Recuperators and regenerators (energy): 3 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Boilers, furnaces and stoves → Recuperators and regenerators

Recuperative burners recover heat from furnace exhaust.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · 99% of flow · Recuperators and regenerators → Boilers, furnaces and stoves

Recovered heat warms combustion air before burning.

  • 99% of Recuperators and regenerators's energy goes this way

3. Price link: host equipment

Cost and price · Strong · Both ways

Recuperators are fitted to furnaces, kilns and burners, so they sell with new combustion equipment. Yearly moves correlate at 0.78, a common driver from US manufacturing costs and industrial investment.

  • 0.16 monthly change correlation
  • 0.78 12-month change correlation
  • 0.92 fitted elasticity
