Plate Heat Exchanger Rubber Gasket

A plate heat exchanger rubber gasket is a crucial sealing component used in plate heat exchangers to ensure leak-proof operation. These gaskets are typically made from flexible, heat- and chemical-resistant rubber materials such as NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), or Viton, depending on the application's temperature and fluid requirements. The rubber gasket fits into a groove around each metal plate, forming a seal between plates and directing the flow of fluids through alternate channels.
