Abstract

A ceramic recuperator for the heating of combustion air, e.g. for an oil-fired burner or boiler, which prepares at least the air in the formation of a fuel-air mixture which is ignitable at the burner. According to the invention the recuperator is provided with means, especially electrically operated for heating the ceramic body so that the initial combustion air can be heated before firing of the burner and the further heating of the recuperator by combustion products.
