膨脹(zhang)節(jie)習(xi)慣上(shang)(shang)也(ye)叫補償器(qi)(qi),或(huo)(huo)伸(shen)(shen)縮(suo)節(jie)。由(you)構(gou)(gou)成其(qi)工作主(zhu)體(ti)(ti)的波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(一種彈性(xing)元件)和端管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)、支(zhi)架(jia)、法蘭、導管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)等(deng)(deng)附(fu)件組成。 膨脹(zhang)節(jie)是為(wei)了補償因溫度差與(yu)機械振動(dong)引起(qi)的附(fu)加應力(li),而設置在(zai)容(rong)器(qi)(qi)殼體(ti)(ti)或(huo)(huo)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)上(shang)(shang)的一種撓性(xing)結構(gou)(gou)。利用其(qi)工作主(zhu)體(ti)(ti)波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)的有效伸(shen)(shen)縮(suo)變(bian)形,以吸收管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)、導管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)、容(rong)器(qi)(qi)等(deng)(deng)由(you)熱(re)(re)脹(zhang)冷縮(suo)等(deng)(deng)原(yuan)因而產生(sheng)的尺寸(cun)變(bian)化,或(huo)(huo)補償管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)、導管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)、容(rong)器(qi)(qi)等(deng)(deng)的軸向(xiang)、橫向(xiang)和角向(xiang)位移(yi)。也(ye)可用于降(jiang)噪減(jian)振。供(gong)熱(re)(re)上(shang)(shang),為(wei)了防止供(gong)熱(re)(re)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)升溫時,由(you)于熱(re)(re)伸(shen)(shen)長或(huo)(huo)溫度應力(li)而引起(qi)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)變(bian)形或(huo)(huo)破壞,需要(yao)在(zai)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)上(shang)(shang)設置補償器(qi)(qi),以補償管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)(dao)的熱(re)(re)伸(shen)(shen)長,從而減(jian)小管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)壁的應力(li)和作用在(zai)閥件或(huo)(huo)支(zhi)架(jia)結構(gou)(gou)上(shang)(shang)的作用力(li)。
