recuperators
Those regaining strength
Recuperators are people or things that recover or restore.
A person recuperating from illness is a recuperator.
In engineering, a recuperator is a heat exchanger that captures waste heat to preheat incoming air or fuel, improving efficiency in furnaces and industrial processes: The plant installed recuperators to reduce energy costs.
