Abstract
A regenerator includes a cylindrical body and a plurality of improved wire mesh screens stacked inside the cylindrical body. Each wire mesh screen includes a number of interwoven wires that overlap one another at the cross points of the wire mesh screen, with the overlapping wires being compressed at the cross points in the direction in which the wire mesh screens are stacked. This shortens the distance between the central axes of the overlapping wires at the cross points in the stacking direction so that a greater number of the wire mesh screens may be stacked in the cylinder.
