GEA AU3 AU5 AU8 AU10L1 AU10L2 Heat Exchanger Gasket Nitrile and EPDM Options

Heat Exchanger Gasket:

Characteristics of Nitrile Gaskets:

1. Chemical Resistance: Nitrile gaskets provide effective sealing against oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and many chemicals, making them suitable for applications where exposure to such substances is common.

2. Temperature Resistance: They offer moderate resistance to temperature extremes, typically ranging from -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +248°F), depending on the specific formulation and application conditions.

3. Mechanical Properties: Nitrile gaskets maintain their flexibility and elasticity over a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable sealing even under varying operational conditions.

4. Sealing Performance: These gaskets exhibit good compression set resistance, meaning they can maintain their shape and sealing effectiveness over prolonged use.

5. Applications: Commonly used in automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing, and other industries where robust sealing solutions are required. They are utilized in sealing applications such as flanges, pipes, valves, pumps, and machinery.

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.

The steps for replacing the gasket in a heating exchanger are as follows:

1. Carefully remove the old gasket, ensuring that no scratches are made on the gasket groove during disassembly.
2. Use butanone, or other ketone solvents to remove any residue from the gasket groove.
3. Clean the gasket groove and gasket with a clean cloth or cotton swab, ensuring they are free from dirt and debris.
4. Apply adhesive evenly to the gasket groove.
5. Install the clean new gasket onto the plate, ensuring proper alignment.
6. After installing the gasket on the plate, allow it to dry naturally in a flat, cool, and well-ventilated area before installation and use.
