Baffle Seals Help Improve Heat Transfer
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers with removable tube bundles require that manufacturing clearances are present to facilitate the insertion and removal of the tube bundles for maintenance, repair or cleaning purposes.
For heat exchangers designed for multipass flows within the shell — for example, Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association standard shell types F, G and H — it is common to incorporate a longitudinal baffle plate within the tube bundle design. These plates direct the shell fluid flow in desired directions to increase the dwell time of the fluid while in contact with the tubes, thereby increasing the heat transfer effectiveness of the exchanger.

Rare and Ultra-Pure Resources Present Unique Challenge to Finding Appropriate Low Temp Gasket
Modern technology often requires rare or ultra-pure materials that can only be handled or obtained within extreme environmental conditions. These same conditions present unique and hazardous difficulties when transporting or utilizing these resources. Resources such as liquid oxygen, nitrogen, or argon; all of which are classified as “industrial gases” are handled well below the normal temperature ranges that every-day liquids exist; ranging as low as -195.8°C (-320.4°F). This often makes it a challenging task to find a low temp gasket to fit the specifications for the application.
As an example, let’s look at argon; an important gas used in Welding, Neon Lights, 3D Printing, and Metal Production, just to name a few. It is far more economical to house and transport argon in its liquid state. However, it must be held at an astonishingly low -185.9°C. Fitting the pipes together and maintaining

In addition to KLINGER's complete Sheet Gasketing Product Line which now includes the new major change in construction of their PTFE Products TC 1003, TC 1005, and TC1006, they have added a great new product to cover additional applications during day-to-day operation.
The KLINGER SAVER
A new product we are featuring on our blog is THE KLINGER-SAVER - a tool to eliminate hand injuries.Bolt tightening or loosening activities, or using slug wrenches and hammers can often the cause of serious finger or hand injuries.
The KLINGER-SAVER is a safety device that allows an assembly technician to remove his hand from the potential danger of being struck by the hammer.
