摘要： A method for constructing a rotor of an air preheater having a plurality of diaphragm plates dividing the rotor into a number of wedge-shaped compartments. Each compartment includes compartment components such as a rotor shell plate, a hot end rotor angle, a cold end rotor angle, and one or more stay plates and means for locating at least a portion of each of the components within the compartment. The diaphragm plates are manufactured by marking at least one index location associated with each compartment component on each diaphragm plate blank utilizing a template identifying the index locations and forming an opening at each index location. Each compartment is assembled by positioning a first diaphragm plate adjacent to a second diaphragm plate and locating each compartment component between the adjacent diaphragm plates by engaging the locating means of the component in an associated opening in one of the diaphragm plates. The locating means may comprise at least one tab extending from each of the sides of the compartment components. The tabs are inserted into the associated opening in one of the diaphragm plates to locate the component.

摘要： A semi-modular rotor module for an air preheater having a circular rotor includes a lug assembly having a lug front, a lug back spaced radially outward from the lug front, and cold end and hot end lug members. The lug front and lug back each extend longitudinally from a first end to a second end, with the cold end lug member being mounted to the first ends of the lug front and the lug back and the hot end lug member being mounted to the second ends of the lug front and the lug back. A single main diaphragm extends radially from an inner end portion to an outer end portion, with the inner end portion being mounted to the lug front on a first side of the lug assembly. The outer end portion is mounted to a rotor shell which is spaced radially outward from the lug back. At least one intermediate diaphragm extends radially from an inner end portion, mounted to the lug back at a position intermediate the first and second sides of the lug assembly, to an outer end portion mounted to the rotor shell.

摘要： The gas flow bypass around the heating elements in a regenerative air preheater is reduced by the use of floating bypass seals which are placed in the rotor compartments between stacked heating elements. The seals comprise a frame with an open center with the peripheral frame portion bridging the gaps between the heating elements and the sides of the compartments. The seals may be adjustable and may include a deformable edge seal to actually contact and seal against the sides.

摘要： An element basket for a rotary regenerative heat exchanger having an array of heat absorbent plates that comprise heat transfer elements therefor. Retaining means are affixed at opposite ends to basket walls to positively position the element plates within the basket. The element plates have curved recesses at opposite ends thereof to receive the retaining means, the recesses having a dimension greater than that of a transverse section of the adjacent retaining means to permit freedom of movement therebetween and to preclude a concentration of stresses that would effect premature failure thereof.

摘要： A concentric tube type recuperative heat exchanger that includes an outer transparent tube 22 and an inner metallic tube 24 connected to suitable headers 12 and 14. The outer tube 24 is closed at the bottom end and open at the top end in order that cool air may be directed down through the open ended inner tube and up through the annular space therebetween where it may accept radiant energy transmitted through transparent tube 22. A tubular heat shield 36 of apertured metal lying in the annular space between tubes absorbs radiant heat passing directly through transparent tube 22 and that which is reflected from inner tube 24. Shield 36 serves simultaneously as a means for increasing the turbulence of fluid flowing through the annular space between tubes and as a heat sink that absorbs heat radiated between tube walls.
