Air compressor outlet bellows
Thread Content
I would like to ask what the purpose of designing the bellows at the compressor outlet and those at the expander outlet is, and whether their principles are the same
Reduce the propagation of vibration sources along the pipeline to prevent resonance in the machinery and pipelines.
For bellows joints, attention should be paid to the arrangement of the tie rods on them; if the tie rods are not arranged properly, the joint will not function.
It is mainly used to compensate for the displacement of pipes caused by thermal deformation, mechanical deformation, and various vibrations~~ It represents a form of manual compensation~~
Primarily used as compensation for displacement
I never would have thought of resonance; all I could think of was stress compensation for the pipes. But upon further consideration, it does indeed help to reduce some of the resonance effects. After all, the design provided by the manufacturer probably doesn’t take into account the changes in the resonance range caused by the connecting pipes
