Rotary regenerative heat exchange apparatus having a horizontal rotor post about which there are secured a plurality of axially spaced layers of heat absorbent element through which a heating fluid and a fluid to be heated are alternately directed. The heating element is contained in a plurality of sector-shaped compartments in juxtaposed relation that are pivotally attached to the rotor post. Sealing means are designed to be inserted as radial strips that extend between adjacent compartments in frictional engagement therewith to preclude the flow of fluid through the space therebetween. The sealing means are independent from the rotor structure at all times to permit complete freedom of movement whereby the sealing means will find an optimum relationship intermediate the element compartments. |
