Abstract
An arrangement is provided in an air preheater for mounting and adjusting the axial seal plates in relation to the rotor using a reduced number of adjustable mountings and replacing the remaining adjustable mountings with adjustable compression stops. These adjustable compression stops engage but require no attachment to the axial seal plates. This reduces the work necessary in the limited space between the air preheater housing and the axial seal plates thereby reducing costs and facilitating installation and replacement.
