Energy-intensive industry and Recuperators and regenerators

Energy flows from energy-intensive industry to recuperators and regenerators; energy flows from recuperators and regenerators to energy-intensive industry; their prices have moved together.

Energy-intensive industry (energy) and Recuperators and regenerators (energy): 3 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Energy-intensive industry → Recuperators and regenerators

Regenerative burners reuse furnace exhaust heat.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Recuperators and regenerators → Energy-intensive industry

Preheated air cuts fuel use in furnaces and kilns.

3. Price link: main users

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Steel, glass, cement and metal heat-treatment plants are the main buyers, and higher energy tariffs raise the value of heat recovery. Yearly moves correlate at 0.37 with the industrial power proxy, a weak link.

• 0.04 monthly change correlation
• 0.37 12-month change correlation
