Abstract
The present invention is a rotary heat exchanger core for use with a rotary heat exchanger. The core comprises a plurality of discs having passages for axial fluid flow. The discs are axially aligned and connected with a space between adjacent discs. There is a means to prevent circumferential fluid flow in the space between adjacent discs. Preferably the discs are connected in a moving relationship relative to each other to help compensate for thermal movements and dimensional changes resulting from thermal expansion and contraction.
