Heat exchanger gaskets are critical components to prevent leaks between different parts of a heat exchanger by maintaining fluid separation and minimising energy loss. They can be made from a range of materials including non-asbestos fibre, rubber, graphite foil, PTFE and solid metal joints. These gaskets can enhance heat transfer by promoting turbulent flow and reducing boundary layer resistance.
What is a Heat Exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat between two or more fluids (liquids or gases) at different temperatures. The fluids are separated by a solid barrier, preventing them from mixing, and heat is transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Heat exchangers are crucial in various applications, from industrial processes to everyday appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners.
Choosing the correct material is crucial and depends on various operating conditions like; temperature, pressure and what the gasket comes into contact with.
