A recouperative heat exchanger is normally a higher temperature heat exchanger but with shorter exchange periods, the materials used can be metal or plastic. It is a more direct form of heat exchange than a regenerative heat exchanger and therefore more efficient over shorter periods. Flate plate heat exchangers are normally recouperative heat exchangers.

A regenerative heat exchanger is is where heat is exchanged via temporary storage or heat sink, it is therefore more reliant on longer exchange periods but can run at lower temperatures, one sustance is absorbed by a heat sink and then passed to the next substance via the heat sink without contact.

In the design and operation of buildings,centralised heat recovery units often used crossflow flat plate exchangers and are therfore recouperative exchangers where as single room heat recovery extrators are often regenerative, thus using a medium to store and then exchange the heat collected.
