Port locations
F = fixed cover
B = moveable cover
M = intermediate frame
H = horizontal
V = vertical
Example:
The paired ports are shown on the symmetrical drawings (Figure 7). The intermediate frames are
shown with dashed lines and are applicable to the extent that they are included in the plate heat
exchanger. The ports are marked by alphanumeric codes.
Gasket structure
New gaskets
The first plate after the fixed cover and after an intermediate frame
must be fitted with a gasket that fills the entire gasket groove. This
gasket is trimmed from a standard gasket. Accordingly, you should
check how the existing gaskets are trimmed before removing them
(see
Figure 9
).
Non-adhesive or adhesive gaskets
Some plate heat exchangers are supplied with non-adhesive
Sonder Snap gaskets. This allows the gaskets to be replaced
without using adhesive. The gasket of the first plate after the fixed
cover and the first plate after an intermediate frame must be an
adhesive type (see Figure 9). Remove all gasket residues before
fitting a new gasket. Please take the following information into
account for plate heat exchangers with adhesive gaskets.
Adhesive
Pliobond 25 / Scotchgrip 847 is a solvent-based nitrile rubber
adhesive (25% solids). This adhesive is semi-thermoplastic, which
means that old gaskets can be loosened with hot water.
Degreaser
Use acetone to clean and degrease new gaskets and gasket grooves. Ensure that the degreaser has
completely evaporated before applying the adhesive.
Caution: Inhaling solvents is harmful to health.
