UDC 621.51

Results of an experimental investigation of two types 
of metallic spiral packings for regenerative heat exchangers are considered. 
They are compared to packings of other types used in regenerators; 
a method of calculation of the hydraulic resistance of the packings 
investigated is proposed.
