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.
| Main Body Gasket | Operating Temperature (℃) | Suitable Fluid |
| NBR | -15 ~ +135 | Water, Sea water, Mineral Salt, Brine |
| EPDM | -25 ~ +180 | Hot water, Vapour, Acid, Base |
| F26 | -25 ~ +230 | Acid, Base, Fluid |
| FTP | 0 ~ +160 | Concentrated acid, Base, High temperature oil, Vapour |
| FKM | -25~200 | Steam acid,98% SO2,Cl water. |
The steps for replacing the gasket in a heating exchanger are as follows:
- Carefully remove the old gasket, ensuring that no scratches are made on the gasket groove during disassembly.
- Use butanone, or other ketone solvents to remove any residue from the gasket groove.
- Clean the gasket groove and gasket with a clean cloth or cotton swab, ensuring they are free from dirt and debris.
- Apply adhesive evenly to the gasket groove.
- Install the clean new gasket onto the plate, ensuring proper alignment.
- After installing the gasket on the plate, allow it to dry naturally in a flat, cool, and well-ventilated area before installation and use.
