Plate for Gasket Plate Heat Exchanger Replacement

The Gasket Plate Heat Exchanger uses a counterflow or parallel flow design, depending on the specific application requirements. In a counterflow design, the hot and cold fluids flow in opposite directions, maximizing the temperature difference and heat transfer efficiency. In a parallel flow design, the hot and cold fluids flow in the same direction, which is suitable for applications where a high heat transfer rate is required. The heat exchangers are used in various industries, including HVAC, refrigeration, power generation, chemical processing, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. They are commonly used for applications such as cooling or heating fluids, Condenser or evaporating gases, and recovering waste heat. 

The reasons that have an important impact on the service life of the Plate Heat Exchanger Gaskets are the working mode of the heat exchanger, the corrosion of the heat dissipation medium and the detergent used, the highest working temperature, the highest working pressure, the stress of the elastic gasket is large because of excessive pressure and unbalanced pressure, and the natural aging. These should be timely protection and maintenance or replacement. The plate heat exchanger plates are composed of a set of corrugated metal plates with four corner holes for the passage of the two liquids for heat transfer, guiding the fluid to alternately flow through their respective channels for heat exchanging.
