PLATE AND FrAME - HEAT ExCHANgErS
5.3.1
Glueless or glue free gaskets are provided for most
models. These gaskets are replaced as follows;
1) Peel the old gasket off of the plate and make certain all
parts of it are totally removed.
2) Wipe the gasket groove clean making sure no foreign
materials remain that could cause the gasket to seat im-
properly.
3) Secure the new gasket to the plate by sliping the gas-
ket tabs under the edge of the plate. Note that there are
two tabs at each attachment location at regular intervals
around the circumference of the plate.
4) Prior to closing the heat exchanger make sure all the
gasket tabs are in the proper position.
5) The plate heat exchanger is then closed and tightened
with the gaskets providing a tight seal.
