Heat exchanger support system

Abstract From the Canadian patent

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 inlet manifold allows vertical translational motion toward and away from the engine, the exhaust gas inlet manifold allows for horizontal translational motion while the, air outlet manifold positioned between the other manifolds …
