The role of corrugated compensator on frozen water pipe
Bellows compensator, also known as metal bellows expansion joint, is a device with compensation function composed of metal bellows and components. The compensator is divided into: axial type, transverse type and angle type. Mainly for the flow line operation, with the following functions:
1 . Compensation absorbs the axial, transverse and angular thermal deformation and mechanical deformation of the absorber tube.
2 . The expansion and contraction of the corrugated compensator facilitates the installation and disassembly of the valve pipeline.
3 . Absorption of equipment vibration, reduce the impact of equipment vibration on the pipeline.
4 . Absorb the deformation of pipeline caused by earthquake and ground settlement.
5 . Play a compensating role in power or heat pipeline network and the connection between equipment and equipment.
6 . Reduce the deformation stress of the pipeline and improve the service life of the pipeline. Corrugated compensator has the advantages of small footprint, easy installation, low engineering cost, no structural leakage, maintenance-free, etc. due to its structural characteristics, thus it is widely used and has achieved rapid development.
