    Bitzer Semi Hermetic Gaskets



    Due to a leak on the discharge side of a Bitzer 4HP semi hermetic reciprocating compressor I am planning to disassemble and replace the damaged parts.

    The only query comes to my mind during this process is " to oil the gaskets or not to oil the gaskets " during the rebuild.

    Suggestion will be appreciated.

    .

    Oiling them will not hurt them in anyway.
    I always use a small amount of oil on both sides
    of the gasket.

    Hi Guner
    I have always used a graphite based grease, it stops the gasket from sticking so the next time you don't have to scrape it off they pretty much fall off. You only need a light smear on each side.
