UNIQUE INTERLOCKING GASKETS
As an exclusive feature, paraflow heat exchanger plates have interlocking gaskets in which upstanding lugs and scallops are sited intermittently around the outside edges.
These scallops ensure that there are no unsupported portions of the gaskets, and in combination with the patented form of pressed groove, provide mechanical plate-to-plate support for the sealing system. The upstanding lugs maintain plate alignment in the plate heat exhanger during pack closure and operation. The groove form provides 100% peripheral support of the gasket, leaving none of the material exposed to the outside. In addition, the gasket/groove design minimizes gasket exposure to the process liquid.
