Flue gas diverter damper seal land
A diverter damper seal land for installation in a flue gas duct defined by a casing wall, the diverter damper seal land includes: a front seal land and a rear seal land, the front seal land is mountable in the duct by a connection between the base edge and the casing wall and the rear seal land is connected at its base edge to the inner edge of the front seal land and spaced back and radially inwardly from the front seal such that it protrudes radially inwardly behind the front seal land. Another diverter damper seal land assembly includes: a seal land including a front seal land and a rear seal land; a first gusset; and a second gusset spaced from the first gusset, the first and second gussets connected to the casing wall and positioned at the back side of the front seal land to support the seal land in an operative position in the duct.
1. A diverter damper seal land for installation in a flue gas duct defined by a casing wall, the diverter damper seal land comprising:
a front seal land having a length, an outer edge extending along its length and an inner edge extending along its length spaced from the outer edge and defining an elongate front sealing surface on its front side between the outer edge and the inner edge; and
a rear seal land having a length, a base edge extending along its length and an opposite edge extending along its length spaced from the base edge and defining an elongate rear sealing surface on its front side between the base edge and the opposite edge,
the front seal land mountable in the duct by a connection between the outer edge and the casing wall and the front seal land and the rear seal land being formed of a single sheet of material bent such that the rear seal land extends at its base edge from the inner edge of the front seal land and the rear seal land is spaced back and radially inwardly from the front seal land such that the rear seal land protrudes radially inwardly behind the front seal land.
2. The diverter damper seal land of claim 1 wherein the single sheet of material further comprises a transition member connected to the inner edge and extending between the inner edge and the base edge.
3. The diverter damper seal land of claim 1 formed in a plurality of segments formed end to end.
4. The diverter damper seal land of claim 1 wherein the seal land forms a stepped structure in section.
5. The diverter damper seal land of claim 1 wherein the rear seal land is free of any direct connection to the casing wall.
6. A diverter damper seal land assembly for installation in a flue gas duct defined by a casing wall, the diverter damper seal land comprising:
a seal land including a single sheet of metal bent to define:
a front seal land having a length, an outer edge extending along its length and an inner edge extending along its length spaced from the outer edge and defining an elongate front sealing surface on its front side between the outer edge and the inner edge, the front seal land mountable in the duct by a connection to the casing wall; and
a rear seal land having a length, a base edge extending along its length and an opposite edge extending along its length spaced from the base edge and defining an elongate rear sealing surface on its front side between the base edge and the opposite edge, the rear seal land extending at its base edge from the inner edge of the front seal land and spaced back and radially inwardly from the front seal land such that the rear seal land protrudes radially inwardly behind the front seal land; and
a connector for connecting the front seal land to the casing wall.
7. The diverter damper seal land assembly of claim 6 wherein the single sheet of material further defines a transition member extending between the inner edge and the base edge.
8. The diverter damper seal land assembly of claim 6 formed in a plurality of segments formed end to end.
9. The diverter damper seal land assembly of claim 6 wherein the connector includes a gusset including a plate like body extending substantially perpendicular to the length of the seal land and connected to the casing wall and the seal land.
10. The diverter damper seal land assembly of claim 6 wherein the seal land forms a stepped structure in section.
11. The diverter damper seal land assembly of claim 6 wherein the rear seal land is free of any direct connection to the casing wall.
12. A diverter damper seal land assembly for installation in a flue gas duct defined by a casing wall, the diverter damper seal land comprising:
a seal land including:
a front seal land having a length, an outer edge extending along its length and an inner edge extending along its length spaced from the outer edge and defining an elongate front sealing surface on its front side between the outer edge and the inner edge; and
a rear seal land having a length, a base edge extending along its length and an opposite edge extending along its length spaced from the base edge and defining an elongate rear sealing surface on its front side between the base edge and the opposite edge,
the front seal land mountable in the duct by a connection to the casing wall and the rear seal land being connected at its base edge to the inner edge of the front seal land and spaced back and radially inwardly from the front seal such that the rear seal land protrudes radially inwardly behind the front seal land; and
a connector for connecting the front seal land to the casing wall, the connector including a gusset including a plate like body extending substantially perpendicular to the length of the seal land and connected to the casing wall and the seal land.
