Gasket Kit

With two decades as a trusted leader in refrigeration compressors and their critical components, ascompressors.com knows that maintaining a leak-free system is paramount to efficiency, safety, and preventing catastrophic failures. Gasket kits are indispensable for ensuring perfect sealing within your compressors and other refrigeration components, preventing costly refrigerant leaks, oil contamination, and efficiency losses. As your dedicated supplier, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality gasket kits designed for the rigorous demands of commercial and industrial cooling applications.

A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. In refrigeration compressors, gaskets are critical for maintaining the integrity of sealed chambers where high pressures and varying temperatures are present. A compromised gasket can lead to refrigerant leaks, oil loss, moisture ingress, and eventually, compressor failure. Using the correct, high-quality gasket kit is fundamental to any successful compressor repair or overhaul, ensuring peak performance and extended equipment life.

Core Gasket Kit Types & Key Products We Supply:

Our extensive inventory includes a variety of gasket kits, meticulously assembled for specific compressor types and models, ensuring a precise fit and optimal sealing performance. We focus on providing solutions that offer comprehensive sealing capabilities and robust material quality:

• Semi-Hermetic Compressor Gasket Kits: These are vital for the overhaul and maintenance of semi-hermetic reciprocating and screw compressors, where the casing is designed to be opened for service. Typical components include:

  • Head Gaskets: For sealing the cylinder head to the cylinder block.

  • Valve Plate Gaskets: Crucial for sealing the valve plate assembly to the cylinder block, ensuring proper compression and preventing internal leakage between suction and discharge sides.

  • Crankcase Gaskets: For sealing the crankcase halves or the crankcase cover.

  • Oil Pan Gaskets: To seal the oil pan to the crankcase, preventing oil leaks.

  • Terminal Plate Gaskets: For sealing the electrical terminal access points.

  • Shaft Seal Gaskets/O-rings: Though the primary shaft seal assembly is separate, these kits often include the O-rings or minor gaskets associated with its mounting.

• Reciprocating Compressor Gasket Kits (General Purpose): Tailored for various reciprocating compressors, often focusing on the cylinder head and valve plate areas. These kits typically contain all gaskets needed for a top-end overhaul.

• Screw Compressor Gasket Sets: Designed for the specific sealing requirements of screw compressors, including large casing gaskets, oil separator gaskets, and various internal O-rings and seals critical for maintaining oil pressure and refrigerant separation.

• High-Performance Materials: We offer gaskets made from materials specifically engineered for refrigeration environments, including:

  • Non-Asbestos Gasket Material: For safety and compliance.

  • High-Temperature Resistant Materials: To withstand compressor discharge temperatures.

  • Oil-Resistant Compounds: To prevent degradation from compressor oil.

  • Refrigerant-Compatible Materials: Ensuring chemical compatibility with modern refrigerants (e.g., HFCs, HFOs) and their associated oils.

• Individual Gaskets & O-Ring Kits: In addition to comprehensive kits, we also supply individual gaskets for specific needs and various O-ring assortments for general sealing applications within the system.

Every gasket and seal in our kits undergoes stringent quality control, matching or exceeding OEM specifications for material composition, thickness, and dimensional accuracy. This commitment to quality ensures a perfect seal every time.

Essential Applications & Industries for Our Gasket Kits:

Our high-quality gasket kits are indispensable across a broad spectrum of commercial and industrial cooling applications, ensuring system integrity and preventing costly issues:

• Compressor Overhauls & Rebuilds: Absolutely critical for any comprehensive repair or preventative overhaul of semi-hermetic, screw, and reciprocating compressors.

• Leak Repair & Maintenance: Replacing worn or damaged gaskets is the primary method for stopping refrigerant and oil leaks in various refrigeration components.

• System Refurbishment: Essential when replacing internal compressor parts, ensuring all disassembled sections are perfectly resealed upon reassembly.

• Preventive Maintenance: Proactive replacement of gaskets during scheduled downtime to prevent future leaks and maintain system efficiency.

• Commercial Refrigeration: Ensuring leak-free operation in supermarket display cases, walk-in coolers, blast freezers, and industrial kitchens.

• Industrial Refrigeration: Maintaining the integrity of large compressors and systems in cold storage warehouses, food processing plants, breweries, and chemical industries.

• HVAC Systems: Used for servicing larger compressors in central air conditioning units and chillers where hermetic sealing is vital.

• Service & Contractor Companies: Providing essential, reliable sealing components for their technicians performing in-field and workshop repairs.
