There are many types of plate heat exchangers, and there are also many types of plate heat exchanger gaskets. Below we introduce the classification of plate heat exchanger gaskets according to different standards.

plate heat exchanger gasket is divided into unilateral flow and diagonal flow according to the flow form of heat exchange medium. Correspondingly, plate heat exchanger gasket is divided into unilateral flow and diagonal flow according to the flow form of heat exchange medium. Stream 2 kinds. Unilateral flow means that the heat exchange medium flowing in from the right corner hole of the heat exchange plate finally flows out from the right corner hole. Similarly, the heat exchange medium flowing in from the left corner hole finally flows out from the left corner hole. Diagonal flow means that the heat exchange fluid flows from the right corner hole and then flows out from the left corner hole, or the fluid flowing in from the left corner hole flows out from the right corner hole, showing a diagonal flow pattern. In terms of heat transfer efficiency, the diagonal flow method is better than the unilateral flow, but the cost of the unilateral flow method is relatively low, so when the heat exchange efficiency can be met, the unilateral flow method is generally adopted.

Plate heat exchanger gaskets can also be divided into three forms according to the installation method on the heat exchange plates. 

1.Direct paste. 
After applying sealant on the gasket, stick it directly into the installation groove of the heat exchange plate.

2.Plastic nail inlay. 
The heat exchange plate is designed with assembly holes, and the side of the sealing gasket is designed with rubber nails. After the sealing gasket is put into the installation groove, the rubber nails are embedded in the assembly hole.

3.Buckle type
A buckle is designed on the side of the gasket, and the buckle is used to buckle the gasket on the heat exchange plate.
