HVAC systems lose measurable energy at every poorly sealed flange and joint. Schlegel Q-LON gaskets applied to ductwork flanges and connections prevent conditioned air from escaping, maintaining temperature consistency and reducing the load on heating and cooling equipment. Q-LON’s polyurethane foam core delivers a thermal conductivity of just 0.04 W/m·K at 0°C, 3 to 6 times lower than extruded alternatives.
Blowers, fans and motors in HVAC units generate continuous mechanical vibration that loosens fasteners and transmits noise through building structures over time. Q-LON gaskets absorb this movement at source, reducing noise transmission and protecting mechanical connections from fatigue.
Rooftop and ground-mounted HVAC units face constant exposure to rain, UV radiation and airborne debris. Schlegel Q-LON’s polyethylene outer film resists UV degradation and is unaffected by paints, detergents and atmospheric conditions, making it suited to sealing outdoor unit enclosures. The same material performs in access panel gaskets and hatches, ensuring doors remain properly sealed to maintain consistent airflow and system pressure across the installation’s full service life.
Compressor housings, heat exchangers and valve assemblies require tight, durable seals to prevent refrigerant leakage and fluid ingress. Schlegel Q-LON gaskets provide a reliable compression seal in these critical junctions, with long-term recovery performance that maintains sealing integrity as components expand and contract during operation.
Schlegel supplies leading HVAC system manufacturers across the UK and Europe. HVAC manufacturers with specific sealing requirements can access Schlegel’s custom design service. Schlegel engineers work at the design stage to advise on gasket specification, compression tolerances and material selection, reducing the risk of re-work and costly late-stage design changes.
