FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mechanical engineering and can be used in motor and electric vehicles, robots, freight wagons and passenger cars, subway cars etc. A recuperator comprises two parallel shafts connected by a chain gear. Two overrunning clutches with mutually antithetic free run of the stars are mounted on the shafts. The clutch races are spring-loaded by an elastic element in respect to each other at the rotation angle and are kinematically connected by a toothed gear.
