Abstract
A low stiffness elastomer mounting arrangement for a ceramic regenerator core comprising an elastomer cushion between a ceramic, circular regenerator core and a surrounding ring gear, portions of the elastomer being bonded to the interior surface of the ring gear and other portions of the elastomer being bonded to the outer periphery of the ceramic regenerator core, the location of the bonds between the elastomer and the ring gear being tangentially offset with respect to the location of the bonds between the elastomer and the regenerator core, adjacent bonds on the ring gear and on the periphery of the regenerator core being tangentially spaced one with respect to the other, the elastomer forming a load transmitting beam construction that is not bonded to either the ring gear or the core whereby driving forces are transmitted from the ring gear to the core while the elastomer compensates for differential expansion of the ceramic core and the ring gear thus avoiding radial stresses and compression loads on the ceramic core.
