ABSTRACT:
A labyrinth articulation joint (38) for use in the seal frame (35) of a rotary regenerative air heater (20). An internal labyrinth arrangement of intercooperating tabs (54,55) and slots (44,45) in the two hinges (41,51) of the labyrinth articulation joint (38) present a series of successive right angle turns that increases the pressure drop through the labyrinth articulation joint (38) thus reducing the leakage of air through the labyrinth articulation joint (38), and thereby minimizing erosion of the labyrinth articulation joint (38) due to abrasive particles that would otherwise be carried through the joint by the leakage air.
