Bypass packing for rotary regenerative heat exchanger

摘要

A heating element basket assembly for a rotary regenerative air preheater has a picture-frame structure with the open areas on each side being covered by a flat plate attached to the inside of the frame. A sealing plate member is attached to the outside of each of the flat plates within framework. The sealing plate member has a portion bend and protruding outwardly from the periphery of the basket to form a flexible seal for engagement with the diaphragms and stay plates of the rotor.
