Abstract

A pair of sealing skirts join the inducer to the collector box of a condenser induction furnace, and accommodate offset in positions of the inducer inlet opening and the collector box outlet port. The two mating skirts are congruent and of generally triangular shape. A ridge or lip of one fits a groove on the other to form an airtight gasketless seal.
