How to use the spherical compensator correctly in the heat pipeline?
Aug-22-13
Spherical compensator is mainly applied to ground settlement, vibration, complex terrain pipeline connection, with the advantages of large compensation, occupy little space, low fluid resistance, easy installation, low comprehensive cost, etc.Spherical compensator in the heat network can be installed vertically, can also be installed horizontally, should be based on specific circumstances, vertical arrangement can be the following two ways: ① if the pipeline is low bracket laying, can be two groups of spherical compensator centralized installation, fixed bracket at high; ② if the pipeline type high bracket laying, can also be two groups of spherical compensator centralized installation, fixed bracket at low. When the horizontal arrangement of spherical compensator, in addition to the vertical arrangement of the two groups of spherical compensator concentrated in a horizontal installation, can also be arranged in the middle of the two fixed bracket.
The use of spherical compensator should pay attention to several issues: the use of spherical compensator, due to the pipe section than the use of square compensator greatly enhanced, sliding bracket more, the pipe through the sliding bracket generated by the sum of friction resistance is quite large, therefore, the fixed bracket should have sufficient strength; due to increased compensation, close to the spherical compensator sliding bracket of the pipe bracket correspondingly strengthened; due to the strengthening of the pipe section, expansion, the pipe section will produce Deflection, should be set at the discretion of the guide bracket; direct buried heat network pipeline with spherical compensator, set up inspection wells to avoid maintenance.
