Refrigeration Compressor Pipe Expansion Joint and Flexible Connection | Isolate Vibration Transmission
Rigid pipe connection causes 23% of pipeline stress crack and flange leakage, xiteliduo Refrigeration Compressors introduces flexible connector specification. Piston refrigeration compressor suction and discharge lines must install metal flexible hose or expansion joint to absorb reciprocating vibration displacement. Semi-hermetic refrigeration compressor flexible connector can be rubber or metal bellows; avoid overstretching or twisting during installation. Cold storage refrigeration compressor flexible joint shall be installed close to compressor outlet, and cannot bear weight of downstream piping. Flexible joint inspection cycle is once per year; check cracks, bulging, corrosion and bolt looseness. 10 recommended hot search keywords: cold storage refrigeration compressor, piston refrigeration compressor, semi-hermetic refrigeration compressor, refrigeration compressor flexible pipe joint, refrigeration metal bellows, refrigeration pipeline vibration isolation, refrigeration flange leakage, refrigeration compressor manufacturer, cold storage piping installation standard, refrigeration compressor supplier
FAQ
Q1: What percentage of pipeline crack and flange leakage faults come from rigid piping connection? A: 23% of pipeline stress cracks and flange leaks are caused by fully rigid piping. Q2: What flexible component is required for piston compressor suction/discharge pipe? A: Metal flexible hose or expansion bellows. Q3: What installation forbidden requirement for flexible joint? A: Do not let flexible connector support the weight of downstream pipework. Q4: What inspection items for flexible joint annual check? A: Crack, bulging, corrosion and bolt tightness. Q5: What damage will twisting of metal bellows cause? A: Early fatigue rupture and refrigerant leakage. Q6: What is the core function of flexible connector? A: Isolate compressor vibration and prevent stress transfer to fixed pipeline. Q7: Can flexible joint compensate large axial displacement? A: Only small vibration displacement; large thermal expansion needs dedicated expansion joint.
