ELEMENT BASKET ASSEMBLY FOR HEAT EXCHANGER An element basket assembly (30) for a rotary regenerative heat exchanger (2) is comprised of a plurality of heat transfer element plates (32) stacked in an array within a supporting basket frame formed of upper and lower plank-like shell members (34,44) each formed into a trough-like member having a base end (342,442) and a pair of spaced outwardly extending legs (344,444). The shell members (34,44) are interconnected at their base ends by corner angle bars (35) and at the outward ends of their legs by closure member (36) to form a four-sided frame housing. Retaining grates (42a,42b) are mounted within the trough-like shell members (34,44) so as to extend across the upper and lower end surfaces of the stacked element plates (32) for retaining the element plates within the housing.
