Are the main reasons and solutions for the failure of the plate heat exchanger rubber gaskets here?

Plate heat exchanger is a very efficient heat exchange equipment, and its application is very wide. The core components of plate heat exchanger are plate heat exchanger plates and plate heat exchanger rubbergaskets.
The sealing failure of the plate heat exchanger is a very important production failure, so what is the reason for the sealing failure of the plate heat exchanger?

Stress effects.
The leakage of the plate heat exchanger during use is generally related to the abnormal impact load in the heat exchange system. The instantaneous pressure peak caused by the impact is often several times higher than the normal working pressure, so that it is installed in the plate heat exchanger.
The rubber gasket inside is displaced, making the plate heat exchanger seal failure.

Time influence.

For equipment used or idle for several years, the self-aging of the sealing material may affect the reliability of the sealing.
Temperature influence.
Rapid changes in temperature can also cause seal failure. When the temperature changes rapidly, the linear expansion coefficient and elastic deformation of the plate heat exchanger rubber gasket and the seal pre-tightening force will not match, which reduces the seal pre-tightening force, resulting in
The pressure bearing capacity of the device is much lower than the rated design pressure.


The above three factors are the most important reasons for seal failure. When a seal failure occurs, the cause should be found out as soon as possible and the problem should be solved to avoid unnecessary losses.
