Heat exchanger panel and such panel with a gasket

摘要

A heat exchanger plate includes a gasket groove that extends through a portion of the plate proximate to the periphery of the plate. The groove includes spaced expanded portions disposed to receive a plurality of coupling elements formed on an associated gasket. The expanded portions include tongue-like ridged portions with openings substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the gasket groove that are configured to receive the gasket coupling elements.
