ABSTRACT:
A mounting system to interconnect a gas turbine heat exchanger with a gas turbine includes three interconnecting gas manifolds: one to receive cool compressed air from the engine, one to receive hot exhaust gas from the engine, and one to communicate heated intake air to the engine. The manifolds, acting in cooperation with a jointed support arm, allow the heat exchanger and the gas turbine to have differing thermal expansion properties. Specifically, the air-in manifold allows vertical translational motion toward and away from the engine, the gas-in manifold allows for horizontal translational motion, while the air-out manifold positioned between the other manifolds includes a trunnion arrangement allowing rotational motion. The jointed support located at the opposite end of the engine from the air-in manifold and the trunnion arrangement cooperate to control the resultant thermal expansion motion in the air-in manifold and the gas-in manifold.
