As if this weren't confusing enough, a mixed-flow regenerator is sometimes used as a quasi-separated-flow recuperator.
22.
The recuperator transfers some of the waste heat in the exhaust to the compressed air, thus preheating it before entering the fuel burner stage.
23.
By recovering some of the energy usually lost as waste heat, the recuperator can make a heat engine or gas turbine significantly more efficient.
24.
Mk II mount improved the usability, added deflection gear and the recoil system was improved so that the additional recuperator became unnecessary and was removed.
25.
When heat is recovered from exhaust gases and used to preheat combustion air, typically the term recuperator is used, because the two flows are separate.
26.
The new 1911 version improved on the 1901 gun with a new pole trail, recoil buffer, recuperator and gunshield, and increased shell weight from 10 to.
27.
The barrel, much longer than that of older designs, was fitted with an interrupted screw breechblock with recoil devices consisting of hydraulic recoil buffer and hydropneumatic recuperator.
28.
The last steps were to connect the recoil brakes'pistons to the barrel, fill and test the recoil brake and recuperator, and install the roller race.
29.
It is returned to battery, or the firing position, by either helical springs or by air in a pneumatic recuperator cylinder that is compressed by the force of recoil.
30.
The recoiling mechanism of the gun included the tube and tube extension, recuperator piston and piston rod, lock frame assembly, driving spring assemblies, and the breechblock assembly.
