An automotive turbine regenerator system employs sectored matrix elements which are extruded and then assembled into the larger rotary regenerator. Discontinuous rotation is taught such that the seals are not rubbing seals but rather are clamping seals thus radically reducing the leakage and the wear on seal components.
