Abstract
An improved element basket for a rotary air preheater includes a tubular structural element disposed in each of the four corners of the basket frame and extending therethrough in mutually parallel relation. During installation of the basket into the preheater rotor, rods are provided each having an attachment member formed in one end. The rods are inserted into the tubular elements and retaining clamps are attached thereto to prevent withdrawal. A chain or rope is attached to the attachment members, thus allowing the basket to be conveniently drawn into a desired position in the rotor.
