Abstract

Disclosed is a heat transfer assembly for a rotary regenerative preheater. The heat transfer assembly, includes, a plurality of heat transfer elements stacked in spaced relationship to each other in a manner such that each notch from a plurality of notches of one of the heat transfer element rests on respective flat sections from a plurality of flat sections of the adjacent heat transfer elements to configure a plurality of closed channels, each isolated from the other, wherein each of the channels has a configuration in a manner such that each of corrugation sections from a plurality of corrugation sections of one of the heat transfer elements faces respective undulation sections from a plurality of undulation sections of the adjacent heat transfer elements.

Claims (10)

1. A heat transfer assembly for a rotary regenerative preheater, the heat transfer assembly comprising: a plurality of heat transfer elements stacked in spaced relationship to each other in a manner such that each notch from a plurality of notches from one of the heat transfer elements rests on respective flat sections from a plurality of flat sections from the adjacent heat transfer elements to configure a plurality of closed channels, each isolated from the other, wherein each of the channels has a configuration in a manner such that each corrugation section from a plurality of corrugation sections from one of the heat transfer elements faces respective undulation sections from a plurality of undulation sections from the adjacent heat transfer elements, and wherein each of the notches has adjacent double ridges extending transversely from opposite sides of each of the heat transfer elements to configure the spaced relationship between each of the plurality of heat transfer elements;

each of the plurality of heat transfer elements comprises the plurality of undulation sections, the plurality of corrugation sections, the plurality of flat sections, and the plurality of notches configured thereon across a width thereof and adjacent to one another;

each of the plurality of heat transfer elements is configured to include the plurality of undulation sections, the plurality of corrugation sections, the plurality of flat sections, and the plurality of notches in a manner such that each of the flat sections and notches are spaced apart from each other by at least one of the undulation sections and the corrugation sections; and

the undulation sections are configured at an angle to at least one of the flat sections and the notches over an entire length of the heat transfer element, and the corrugation sections are configured parallel to at least one of the flat sections and the notches over the entire length of the heat transfer element.

2. A heat transfer assembly for a rotary regenerative preheater, the heat transfer assembly comprising: a plurality of heat transfer elements, each of the plurality of heat transfer elements comprising, a plurality of undulation sections, a plurality of corrugation sections, a plurality of flat sections, and a plurality of notches, configured thereon across the width thereof and adjacent to one other, wherein each of the notches has adjacent double ridges extending transversely from opposite sides of each of the heat transfer elements, wherein the plurality of heat transfer elements stacked in spaced relationship to each other in a manner such that each of the notches from one of the heat transfer element rests on the respective flat sections from the adjacent heat transfer elements to configure a plurality of closed channels, each isolated from the other, wherein each of the channels has a configuration in a manner such that each of the corrugation sections from one of the heat transfer element faces the respective undulation sections of the adjacent heat transfer elements;

each of the plurality of heat transfer elements is configured to include the plurality of undulation sections, the plurality of corrugation sections, the plurality of flat sections, and the plurality of notches in a manner such that each of flat sections and notches are spaced apart from each other by at least one of the undulation sections and the corrugation sections; and

the undulation sections are configured at an angle to at least one of the flat sections and the notches over an entire length of the heat transfer element, and wherein corrugation sections are configured parallel to at least one of the flat sections and the notches over the entire length of the heat transfer element.

3. A heat transfer element for a heat transfer assembly of a rotary regenerative preheater, the heat transfer element comprising: a plurality of undulation sections, a plurality of corrugation sections, a plurality of flat sections, and a plurality of notches, configured across the width of the heat transfer element and adjacent to one other, wherein each of the notches has adjacent double ridges extending transversely from opposite sides of the heat transfer element;

the heat transfer element is configured to include the plurality of undulation sections, the plurality of corrugation sections, the plurality of flat sections, and the plurality of notches in a manner such that each of the flat sections and notches are spaced apart from each other by at least one of the undulation sections and the corrugation sections; and

the undulation sections are configured at an angle to at least one of the flat section sections and the notches over an entire length of the heat transfer element, and wherein the corrugation sections are configured parallel to at least one of the flat section sections and the notches over the entire length of the heat transfer element.
