Methanol air cooler gasket
Thread Content
Our facility is located in the northwestern part of China, where water resources are scarce. The design institute adopted air-cooling technology for the design, and air coolers from Harbin were purchased. During the airtightness testing of the installation, these air coolers had many leakage points; replacing them with elliptical gaskets caused significant losses to our organization. 1. Analyze the reasons for the numerous leakage points in the air cooler 2. Which is better, an elliptical pad or an octagonal pad? 3. Are the above issues related to installation or to the equipment itself?
Based solely on the information you provided, it is not possible to give an accurate judgment. In the event of large-scale leaks, it is generally believed that the hardness and surface quality of the gasket do not match those of the flange. For octagonal pads and elliptical pads, I personally recommend the elliptical pad. Thank you.
