Summary

The comparison of different heat transfer surfaces shows a large potential to improve regenerators. The lower unit of this ratio is given by the single plate. With the use of computational fluid dynamics, shapes and arrangement of matrix elements were investigated systematically. As the main influence parameter, the velocity changes within the matrix due to changes in the free flow area and the aspect ratio of the single elements were determined. The optimum geometry consist of slim elements in flow direction in a staggered overlapping arrangement.
