Abstract
A peripheral element basket assembly (30) for installation in the radially outward portion of the rotor 12 of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger (2) comprised of a plurality of heat transfer element plates (32) stacked in an array between a first flanged flat end plate (34) and a second arcuate end plate (36) disposed at opposite ends of the stacked array of heat transfer element plates (32). Upper and lower side straps (40,42 and 50,52) run along opposite sides of the stacked array of heat transfer element plates, to interconnect the first and second end plates (34,36) to form the frame of the element basket housing the heat transfer element plates. Blanking plates (60,62) are welded to the upper and lower regions respectively of the arcuate end plate (36) to extend outwardly superadjacent and subadjacent the foreshortened heat transfer element sheets (32') disposed adjacent the arcuate end plate (36).
