Gaskets for A-Cell

GP-A-001-001

From: $0.00

Gaskets for the A-Cell Flow-battery cell. This cell is a graphite based cell, with an integrated flow-field in the graphite flow-body.

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

Each gasket set contains 2 pieces. 

PTFE Cover Gaskets

We recommend our thin pack PTFE selection and potentially combined with a set of compressible cover gaskets.

Compressible Cover Gaskets

Generally VITON is recommended for acidic and EPDM for alkaline solutions. However, always check material for compatbility with your specific chemistry.

About the product

Buy extra gaskets for the A-Cell.

Select the electrode area that match the flow-field of your cell – either 2.5cm x 2.5cm OR 5cm x 5cm.

The final compressed electrode thickness is the sum of the thicknesses of the Cover/Spacer gaskets, here several gaskets (and materials) and thicknesses can be combined. The gaskets are generally not compressed.

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. 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

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

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
