  • Method of mounting heat exchanger support system
    Patent number: 4377025
    Abstract: Arrangements for supporting a heat exchanger core within a steel frame structure by a hanger system utilizing flexible members pivotably coupled to overhead support beams. Balancing beams are employed to equalize the load transmitted through the system to the support beams. These support systems permit the heat exchanger core to expand in all directions from thermal growth without restraint relative to the frame structure, thereby minimizing thermal fatigue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 1980
    Date of Patent: March 22, 1983
    Assignee: The Garrett Corporation
    Inventors: John F. Masai, Fred W. Jacobsen
