The extent to which air preheater function affects power plant performance is often underestimated. The rotary regenerative air heater is widely used in gas, oil and coal-fired power plants. Gas leakage can occur through the sealing system dividing the hot and cold sides as the air preheater rotates at 1 to 3 rpm. Hot and cold sides need to be properly sealed to prevent this. Paragon's Duramax seals can largely overcome this problem. 1 fig.
