Recuperator
A recuperator is a heat exchanger that helps boost the efficiency of some gas turbine engines. In such an engine, air is compressed, burned with fuel, and used to drive a turbine. The recuperator passes some of the heat of the exhaust gas back to the air as it comes through the compressor.
