Material Selection: Sealing strips are typically made from high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials like fluorocarbon rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or other specialty materials that can withstand the operating environment of the heat exchanger.
Design: The design of sealing strips must consider sealing performance, temperature resistance, and pressure tolerance. Additionally, the shape and size of the sealing strips need to be compatible with the specific design of the heat exchanger.
Installation and Maintenance: Proper installation is critical to ensure that the sealing strips are placed correctly without twisting or damaging them. Regular inspection and replacement of sealing strips are necessary to avoid leaks caused by aging or wear.
Performance Impact: Effective sealing enhances heat exchange efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and prolongs the lifespan of the heat exchanger.
Applications: Large heat exchangers are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, refrigeration, and air conditioning. Therefore, the performance of sealing strips directly influences production safety and economic efficiency.
