膨脹(zhang)節習慣上(shang)也叫補償(chang)器(qi),或伸縮(suo)節。由(you)(you)構(gou)成(cheng)其工(gong)作主體的波(bo)紋管(guan)(guan)(一種(zhong)彈性元件)和(he)端管(guan)(guan)、支(zhi)架、法蘭、導(dao)管(guan)(guan)等附(fu)件組成(cheng)。 膨脹(zhang)節是為(wei)了(le)補償(chang)因溫度差與(yu)機械振(zhen)動(dong)引起的附(fu)加應力(li),而設置在容(rong)器(qi)殼體或管(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)的一種(zhong)撓(nao)性結構(gou)。利用(yong)其工(gong)作主體波(bo)紋管(guan)(guan)的有效伸縮(suo)變(bian)形,以(yi)吸(xi)收管(guan)(guan)線、導(dao)管(guan)(guan)、容(rong)器(qi)等由(you)(you)熱脹(zhang)冷縮(suo)等原因而產(chan)生的尺寸(cun)變(bian)化,或補償(chang)管(guan)(guan)線、導(dao)管(guan)(guan)、容(rong)器(qi)等的軸向(xiang)、橫向(xiang)和(he)角向(xiang)位移。也可用(yong)于降(jiang)噪減振(zhen)。供熱上(shang),為(wei)了(le)防止供熱管(guan)(guan)道(dao)升溫時,由(you)(you)于熱伸長或溫度應力(li)而引起管(guan)(guan)道(dao)變(bian)形或破壞,需要(yao)在管(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)設置補償(chang)器(qi),以(yi)補償(chang)管(guan)(guan)道(dao)的熱伸長,從(cong)而減小管(guan)(guan)壁的應力(li)和(he)作用(yong)在閥件或支(zhi)架結構(gou)上(shang)的作用(yong)力(li)。
