A regenerative heat exchanger, including a rotor mounted so it is rotatable, which has at least one first gas volume flow to be heated and at least one second gas volume flow to be cooled flowing through it, as well as a method for operating the regenerative heat exchanger, is provided. The inflowing first gas volume flow enters the rotor at a first front side of the rotor and exits the rotor again at a second front side of the rotor at an outflowing first gas volume flow. To increase the heating performance, a leakage volume flow is captured at the first front side of the rotor and supplied to the inflowing first gas volume flow and/or a leakage volume flow is captured at the second front side of the rotor and supplied to the outflowing first gas volume flow.
A method for operating a regenerative heat exchanger, including a rotor having a first front side with a rotor seal and a second front side with a rotor seal, through which a first gas volume flow is heated and a second gas volume flow is cooled, the first gas volume flow flowing into the rotor at the first front side and flowing out of the rotor at the second front side, the method comprising:
A regenerative heat exchanger, comprising:
A regenerative heat exchanger, comprising:
