plate heat exchangers

The short answers are:

1. if they don't leak, don't replace them
2. it is general practice that whenever gasket surfaces are taken apart that a new gasket is put in place

Now, for the hard part: what type/material of gasket should you be using, well that can't be answered with the lack of information.

Hello Kyehia

The rule of thumb is:

- if the plate heat exchanger is open for inspection or maintenance is recommended to replace the gasket set to ensure a new cycle of operation.

Hope this help

Yes it helps; it is exactly what I wanted to make sure of.

Thanks Aurel.
