Abstract

See full text

A porthole gasket is configured to seal a circumferential region around two overlapping portholes in two adjacent heat exchanger plates of a plate heat exchanger, so as to define a passage for a fluid into or out of the plate heat exchanger. The porthole gasket has a ring-shaped portion to be compressed between the two adjacent heat exchanger plates while surrounding the overlapping portholes. The porthole gasket further comprises a plurality of projections that protrude from an outer perimeter of the ring-shaped portion and are configured to be compressed between the two adjacent heat exchanger plates so as to support the ring-shaped portion against pressure exerted by the fluid. A plate package for a plate heat exchanger is configured to include the two adjacent heat exchanger plates and the porthole gasket.
