Gaskets for 3/4-compartment cell – flat current collectors

GP-XP-001-003

From: $0.00

Gaskets for the X-cell with 3 or 4-compartments. These gaskets are for the cell, using flat current collectors.

Select gaskets in PTFE, Viton and/or EPDM to match your required compressed electrode thickness.

Each gasket set contains 2 pieces.

Cover gaskets outer chambers

You need cover gaskets for both outer chambers (anode and cathode). They should be combined with flow-field gaskets.

Add for $57.82 – $270.22 each

Flow Field gaskets - outer compartment

You need flow-field gaskets for both outer compartments. Should be combined with cover gaskets.

Add for $69.62 – $139.24 each

Cover central chamber

You need cover gaskets on each side of the central flow-field gasket.

Add for $57.82 – $270.22 each

Flow Field gaskets - middle compartment

Central flow-field gasket. This is different from the outer compartments!

Add for $69.62 – $139.24 each

Cover gaskets chamber 3

Possibly select more cover gaskets, if above options are not complete for your configuration.

Add for $57.82 – $270.22 each

About the product

Buy extra gaskets for the X-Cell with 3 or 4 compartments. The gaskets in this set fits the cell, if you have use flat current collectors.

For the outer compartments, you need both cover gaskets and flow-field gaskets. To minimize the pressure loss inside the cell it is recommended to use as-thick-as-possible Flow field gaskets and use Cover/Spacer gaskets to adjust the final thickness/compression of the electrode. The final compressed electrode thickness is the sum of the thicknesses of both the Flow field gaskets and Cover/Spacer gaskets, here several gaskets (and materials) and thicknesses can be combined. In our gaskets products we offer packs of different gasket thicknesses, and we recommend these as these will allow you to test virtually any electrode thickness and compression.

For the central compartment, you need cover gaskets and flow-field gaskets. If you wish to use this for a 4-compartment cell, you should just add extra gasket for one more central compartment.

It is recommended to include EPDM or VITON gaskets in your assembly for a more easy sealing of the cell.

SINGLE GASKETS & PACKS OF GASKETS:

Gasket can be ordered individually, however, we also offer packs of Spacer/Cover gaskets with a volume discount. These pack includes gaskets with thicknesses that will allow testing and compression of almost any electrodes thicknesses. Typically the PTFE Thin Pack will be combined with one the PTFE, VITON or EPDM Thick Packs.

PTFE Thin Pack includes sets (one pair) of

2 sets – 0.05mm PTFE’
2 sets – 0.1 mm PTFE
2 set – 0.25 mm PTFE
1 set – 0.5 mm PTFE

For Cover gaskets

For Flow-Field gaskets

PTFE Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm PTFE
1 set – 1.0 mm PTFE

VITON Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm VITON
1 set – 1 mm VITON

EPDM Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm EPDM
1 set – 1 mm EPDM

PTFE Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm PTFE
1 set – 1.0 mm PTFE
1 set – 2.0 mm PTFE

VITON Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm VITON
1 set – 1 mm VITON
1 set – 2.0 mm VITON

EPDM Thick Pack includes sets (one pair) of

1 set – 0.5 mm EPDM
1 set – 1 mm EPDM
1 set – 2.0 mm EPDM

Gaskets are supplied in either PTFE, VITON or EPDM. VITON and EPDM is more flexible and will easily seal the cells, however, the minimum thickness of VITON/EPDM gaskets is 0.5 mm. PTFE gaskets are more rigid but comes in thicknesses down to 0.05 mm. Combination of several (both PTFE and Viton) gaskets can be done to ensure right electrode thickness/compression.

PTFE: Overall most corrosion resistant material and comes with thicknesses down to 0.05 mm. But rigid and less good sealing properties

VITON: Compressible that will make cell sealing easy. Redox-Flow recommends VITON (and PTFE) for Vanadium flow battery applications – please see a chemical compatibility chart of VITON for your specific application

EPDM:Compressible that will make cell sealing easy. Redox-Flow recommends EPDM (and PTFE) for alkaline conditions – please see a chemical compatibility chart of EPDM for your specific application
