In this experimental study, a new system combining the oxy-fuel combustion with the concept of regeneration is developed. The performance of the regenerator system, which consists of a pair of oxy-fuel burners and regenerators, is demonstrated. To improve the thermal efficiency of the oxy-fuel combustion-based regenerator system, new methods are considered, such as exhaust gas bypass and CO2recirculation. The regeneration characteristics obtained when using oxy-fuel combustion are investigated by applying each method to the oxy-fuel combustion-based regenerator system.The temperature variation in the gas passing through the regenerator is significantly affected by the different operating methods and design parameters such as the switching time, regenerator configuration, and regenerator weight. The reference method, which is the same as air-fuel combustion, shows a low heat recovery ratio in the regenerator, whereas the exhaust gas bypass method has the highest value of the heat recovery ratio, followed by the CO2recirculation method, because of an improvement in the enthalpy imbalance between the exhaust gas and regeneration gas. From the study results, it is confirmed that the use of the exhaust gas bypass method or CO2recirculation method should be effective in improving the thermal efficiency of the oxy-fuel combustion-based regenerator system.
