Plate Heat Exchanger Gasket

Product Description

Heat Exchanger Gasket/Pad for Sondex Plate Heat Exchangers:

1. Heat Exchanger Gaskets, commonly known as O-rings, are small in size and simple to seal. They can be used for static sealing or dynamic sealing.
2. The rubber material is soft and can store deformation after being pressed. At the same time, it generates contact pressure and blocks the leakage channel to achieve sealing.
3. The plate heat exchanger sealing gasket is a crucial component in heat transfer equipment. It plays a vital role in maintaining the operational integrity of the plate heat exchanger.
4. The gasket's working temperature determines the temperature limits of the heat exchanger, and its working pressure capacity is also a limiting factor.
5. The primary function of the sealing gasket is to ensure a secure seal, preventing any leakage of the heat transfer medium to the external environment.
6. Additionally, the gasket helps to avoid cross-contamination between different materials.

Gasket Material:

Manufacturing process of plate heat exchanger gaskets.

1. The first is the mixing process of rubber compounding, that is, mixing various raw and auxiliary materials according to the formula requirements;
2. The second is the step of forming the rubber material blank, that is, the rubber material is made into rubber strips through extruder equipment;
3. The third is the compression molding process, where the unvulcanized rubber strip is placed into the cavity of the hot mold, the mold is closed for vulcanization, and the rubber sealing gasket is formed in the press equipment;
4. The fourth is post-vulcanization, that is, the molded and vulcanized gasket is placed in an oven in a static state to finally complete the vulcanization;
5. The fifth is finished product inspection, that is, sampling some finished products for finished product testing according to process standards.

Installation method

Plate heat exchanger sealing gaskets can be divided into 3 forms according to the installation method on the heat exchange plates:

1. Direct sticking type: After applying sealant on the sealing gasket, it is directly glued into the installation groove of the heat exchange plate.

2. Plastic nail inlaid type: The heat exchange plate is designed with assembly holes, and rubber nails are designed on the side of the sealing gasket. After the sealing gasket is placed in the installation slot, the rubber nails are embedded in the assembly holes.

3. Snap-on type: There are buckles on the side of the sealing gasket, and the buckles are used to buckle the sealing gasket onto the heat exchange plate.

The sealing gasket uses different types of rubber according to different media and operating temperatures.

Q&A

Q1: Does the gaskets product come with a warranty?

A1: Gasket are consumable accessories, and the replacement cycle is generally determined according to the specific conditions of use by the customer. It is related to the use environment, medium, temperature, etc. Usually we recommend purchasing more for replacement and backup purposes.

Q2: Is there a discount available for wholesale or bulk purchases?

Answer: Yes, we offer discounts for wholesale and bulk purchases. If you are interested in purchasing a large quantity of items or engaging in wholesale business, please contact our wholesale department or customer service team for information regarding wholesale discounts and minimum purchase quantities.
