Gaskets

Heat Exchanger

Heat exchanger gaskets are critical components that ensure efficient operation by preventing leaks between the plates or shells of heat exchangers. They help maintain the integrity of the system, facilitating effective heat transfer while protecting against fluid contamination.

Types of Heat Exchanger Gaskets

  1. Plate Gaskets:
    • Material: Often made from rubber, PTFE, or elastomer composites.
    • Application: Used in plate heat exchangers to seal the edges of the plates, preventing fluid mixing.
  2. Shell Gaskets:
    • Material: Commonly made from graphite, rubber, or non-asbestos composites.
    • Application: Seal the ends of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, preventing leaks at the tube sheet.
  3. Spiral Wound Gaskets:
    • Material: Constructed from layers of metal and filler materials (like graphite).
    • Application: Ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, offering flexibility and durability.
  4. O-Ring Gaskets:
    • Material: Typically made from rubber or silicone.
    • Application: Used in smaller heat exchangers or for sealing connections in various applications.
  5. Custom Gaskets:
    • Material: Tailored from various materials to meet specific requirements.
    • Application: Designed for unique or complex heat exchanger configurations.
