Gasket and Seals Play an Important Role in Preventing Leakage in Many Industrial Applications
Gasket and seals play a vital role in the proper operation of refrigeration systems within the industrial setting. It is important to regularly maintain these components for maximum efficiency in operations. Properly maintaining these components ensure optimal performance and longevity of refrigeration systems. These components also contribute to the efficiency of cooling towers and other equipment that utilize them. There are four primary types of gasket materials with varying performance characteristics. The most commonly used gasket material is sheet metal, solid rubber or double shell gaskets. Various mechanical seal devices are used to prevent leakage and seal leaks from occurring. Seals are often employed to close refrigeration tubing as well as cooling towers. The following list explains the most commonly used manufacturing applications as well as a description of each material. Plastic sheet gaskets, mechanical seal blocks or mechanical shaft seals are often used in the c
