MoreWhy Use Gasket in Heat Exchanger: Key Benefits and Applications
Gaskets play a critical role in heat exchangers by ensuring leak-proof seals between components, preventing fluid or gas leakage, and maintaining system efficiency. They withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments, making them indispensable in industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.
According to industry reports, heat exchanger failures due to gasket issues account for nearly 15% of downtime incidents, costing companies millions annually. High-quality gaskets, such as spiral wound or PTFE variants, can extend equipment lifespan by up to 30%. For instance, a 2022 study by the Heat Exchanger Manufacturers Association (HEMA) showed that properly selected gaskets reduce maintenance costs by 22% and improve thermal efficiency by 12%. Leading manufacturers like Garlock and Flexitallic emphasize compliance with ASME and API standards for optimal performance. Whether for shell-and-tube or plate heat exchangers, choosing the right gasket material—like graphite for high-temperature applications or EPDM for chemical resistance—ensures reliability. Explore our certified gasket solutions to enhance your heat exchanger’s durability and operational safety.
