Natural gas and Recuperators and regenerators

Their prices have moved together.

Natural gas (energy) and Recuperators and regenerators (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: fuel saved

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

By preheating combustion air with exhaust heat, recuperators cut the gas a furnace burns, so dearer gas shortens payback. Yearly moves correlate at 0.56 with European gas, a moderate link driven by shared industrial cycles.
