Abstract
Modular heat exchange baskets for rotary regenerative air preheaters have radially extending tie bars which are positioned at each of the top and bottom side edges of the basket and which tie together the inboard and outboard end frames. These tie bars are located inside of the side edges of the heat exchange plates such that the plates extend out beyond the tie bars. This reduces the bypass gap between baskets.
