In the world of heat transfer solutions, plate heat exchangers (PHEs) are vital for efficient thermal management across industries like HVAC, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and energy. Among the leading brands, Cetetherm stands out for its high-performance gasketed plate heat exchangers. At SRJ Heatt, we specialize in providing top-quality Cetetherm PHE Gaskets & Plates, ensuring your systems run smoothly with energy-efficient and reliable performance. This blog explores the importance of these components, their applications, and why SRJ Heatt is your go-to supplier for PHE spares.
Understanding Cetetherm PHE Gaskets & Plates
Cetetherm plate heat exchangers are renowned for their versatility, offering solutions like gasketed, semi-welded, wide gap, and fully brazed models. These systems are designed for applications in district heating, cooling systems, and industrial processes. The gaskets and plates are critical components that ensure sealing efficiency and optimal heat transfer. At SRJ Heatt, we provide non-OEM replacement parts that are 100% compatible with Cetetherm models such as CT100, CT110, CT120, CT130, CT140, CT160, CT170, CT180, CT210, CT220, CT230, CT240, CT90, CT95, and EP series.
The gaskets act as sealing media between the heat transfer plates, preventing leaks and ensuring efficient fluid separation. They are available in materials like NBR, EPDM, Viton, and HNBR, each suited for specific operating conditions such as high temperatures, chemical exposure, or hygienic requirements. The plates, typically made from stainless steel (AISI 316, AISI 304), Titanium, or Hastelloy, are designed for durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh environments like seawater desalination or chemical processing.

Maintenance Tips for Cetetherm PHE Gaskets & Plates
To ensure longevity and optimal performance of your Cetetherm PHEs, regular maintenance is crucial. Here are some tips from SRJ Heatt:
Inspect Gaskets Regularly: Check for wear and tear, chemical degradation, or loss of elasticity to prevent leaks.
Clean Plates Thoroughly: Fouling as thin as a piece of paper can reduce thermal efficiency by 20%. Use CIP (Clean-in-Place) or SIP (Steam-in-Place) methods for hygienic cleaning.
Choose the Right Material: Select gasket materials (e.g., EPDM for chemical resistance, NBR for oily fluids) and plate materials based on your application’s temperature and pressure.
Monitor Operating Conditions: Avoid exceeding the maximum temperature or pressure ratings to extend the life of gaskets and plates.
Partner with Experts: Work with SRJ Heatt for engineering support, thermal rating, and replacement parts to keep your PHEs in top condition.
