REACTOR BED COMPONENT FOR SECURING RIGID ASSEMBLIES

摘要

Reactor bed component includes a foundation grate, a rigid structure and a fastener. The foundation grate has support plates spaced apart from each other by a distance and having a height with each support plate disposed at an angle. The rigid structure has first structure plates spaced apart by a multiple of the distance and disposed at the angle, and second structure plates secured to and disposed at an opposing angle. Each second structure plate has a horizontal extent to engage an upper edge of a corresponding support plate, and a number of the first structure plates have a length extending below the horizontal extent in overlapping relation with adjacent support plates to prevent horizontal movement of the rigid structure relative the foundation grate in a first direction. The fastener is disposed to secure the rigid structure to the grate against movement in a second direction opposite the first direction.

主权项

1. A reactor bed component, comprising:
a foundation grate having a plurality of substantially parallel support plates equally spaced apart from each other by a distance d, the plurality of substantially parallel support plates each having a vertical height h, each support plate disposed at an angle α relative to vertical; at least one rigid structure having a plurality of substantially parallel first structure plates spaced apart from each other by a multiple of the distance d and disposed at the angle α, and a plurality of substantially parallel second structure plates secured to and disposed at an opposing angle α′ relative the first structure plates, each second structure plate having a horizontal extent proximate a lower end thereof to engage an upper edge of a corresponding support plate and at least a number of the first structure plates having a length extending below the horizontal extent in at least partially overlapping relation with adjacent support plates to prevent horizontal movement of the rigid structure relative to the foundation grate in a first direction; and at least one fastener disposed to secure the rigid structure to the foundation grate at least against horizontal movement in a second direction opposite the first direction.
