ABSTRACT:
Sealing apparatus is provided for a rotary heat exchanger of the regenerative type, in which the exchanger has a rotatable disc-like matrix having two opposed end faces and at least one pair of gas passages opening on to each end face of the matrix. The sealing apparatus seals at least one of the end faces for preventing leakage of gas between the two passages at the interface of the respective passage and end face and the sealing apparatus includes a plurality of sealing blocks arranged in end-to-end relation providing a flexible seal extending along the interface. Each of the blocks is of channel-shaped configuration, has a base bearing in sealing relation upon the respective end face of the matrix, and is mounted upon a respective guide member extending within the channel.
