-
Port section walls are
flush with duct inner walls, minimizing pressure drop.
-
Port section carries
duct axial and shear loads through side frame members.
-
Patented shallow seal
air chamber provides outstanding rigidity.
-
All port section welds
are continuous; structural welds have full penetration.
-
Internal blade supports
limit the deflection of the blade as it enters the bottom seal.
-
Internal supports
capable of resisting the upset duct pressure and a one "g"
seismic event.
-
Flushable trough under
the bottom seal prevents deposit accumulations in the bottom seal
pocket.
-
Open superstructure allows
ready access for maintenance and inspection.
-
Bearing mounts take drive loads
into the frame through safe compessive load paths.
-
A transverse beam cooperates
with the drive shaft to ensure seismic stability.
-
Positive safety stops prevent
movement of the blade past the normal operating limits.
