Air Preheaters Preheating the air using exhaust or flue gas increases the flame temperature Recuperators uses heat transfer across a wall Regenerators use a moving ceramic or metal matrix
Exhaust or Flue Gas Recirculation Inserting exhaust gas into the reactants reduces flame temperature, which can reduce pollution (oxides of nitrogen, NO, NO 2 )
