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.
Claims9
A method of mounting two adjacent sets of flexible suspension links, each including a plurality of U-bolts, comprising:
- mounting the two sets of links between a suspension member and a structure to be supported thereby so that the U-bolts of one set are respectively orthogonally aligned with the U-bolts of the other set to prevent interference between the two sets.
