Why to glue the sponge strip in the gap?

31 Jul.,2025

 

The sponge strip is glued in the gap of an evaporator to prevent air leakage and ensure the evaporators' proper function. This seal helps prevent condensation from entering the fan wheel and improves the overall efficiency of the cooling system. 

 

Why to glue the sponge strip in the gap?  1. Air Leakage:

  By creating an airtight seal, the sponge strip helps prevent unwanted air from entering or exiting

  the evaporator area. This is crucial for maintaining proper temperature and humidity control

  within the system.

 

  2. Condensation Control:

  The seal also helps to prevent condensation, which can form on the evaporator, from being drawn

  into the fan wheel. This prevents potential damage to the fan and ensures efficient airflow

  throughout the system. 

 

  3. System Efficiency:

  A properly sealed evaporator coil ensures that the refrigerant cycle operates efficiently, maximizing

  cooling performance and minimizing energy consumption.
