Dampers play a crucial role in the functionality of industrial ductwork as they are designed to control the flow of air or flue-gas within the ducts. The primary purpose of most dampers is to act as shut-off dampers. This means they are either fully open or fully closed depending on the operational requirements. However, some dampers are specifically installed to modulate the gas flow, allowing them to function in various partially open positions. The variability in damper functionality caters to different operating scenarios and provides flexibility in managing the flow of air or flue-gas through the duct system.

Penstocks are used to discharge the headwater from a reservoir. Due to thermal and dynamic effects on the pipelines which are usually run underground in the mountain, compensation for expansion is necessary. By fitting an expansion joint, slow creep movements, eccentricity, dilation and also pipe misalignment can be reliably absorbed. The MANOY® system seal WP, type 436, was specially developed for leakagefree operation of an expansion joint.

Expansion joints serve a crucial role in industrial ductwork by facilitating the controlled expansion and contraction of ducts. Their primary function is to accommodate thermal movements within the ductwork system. They mitigate thermally induced stresses by allowing thermal movements in a relatively unrestricted manner. Expansion joints contribute to the overall flexibility and structural integrity of the system which is essential in preventing the build-up of stress that could otherwise lead to damage in equipment, ductwork, and supporting structures.

Bitumer Flexigum PU is a one-component bitumen-polyurethane compound that forms a permanently flexible and chemically resistant fastening and stress transfer compound. Bitumer Flexigum PU finds its use in: •for continuous resilient fixing of the rail as a subfloor, •rail fastening compound and as a lagging for the underfloor, •for making permanent and flexible expansion joints between concrete slabs and elements made of steel, •filling the gaps located between the road strip and the rail, •for filling concrete-to-concrete joints •filling joints, gaps, cracks and expansion joints in heavily worked asphalt and concrete pavements ( e.g., curbs on bridges), •filling joints "working" on steel and concrete bridges and other pavements characterized by strong movements.

Industrial processes require a possibility of a flexible joint of two or mere components that move against each other, in such a way as to maintain tightness of the connection. The solution of this problem are compensator fabrics produced by Gambit in accordance with individual needs of users or installation designers. They are used as flexible joints compensating thermal deformations, side shift, and vibrations, while muffling and reducing transfer of noise across the installation. Compensators are used in power plants, gas turbines, chemical industry, petrochemical industry, paper industry and cement industry. More and more compensators are used in exhaust gas treatment and desulphurisation. Our compensators are made of materials resistant to both high temperatures, up to 1000oC, and aggressive chemical media. Working pressure of compensator fabric is -0.2 to 0.3 bar.

The Ozdekan EX are waterproof expansion joints that allow absorption of the deck movements. These joints are manufactured with rubber elements and restrained to the structure with proper anchor bolts. The reinforcing metal profiles made of steel are completely inserted and vulcanized to the rubber. This process is a total guarantee against corrosion and allows a longer life to the product. The rubber compound, too, has been intentionally formulated to resist the oil, grease, petrol, salt and sand, without besides, suffering premature ageing phenomena due to sun rays, salt and snow. All the joints follow the deformations and movements of the structure (the movement can exist with every skew angle from 0° to 90°) by shear deformation of the rubber elements. Anchor bolts, made of steel and protected with anticorrosion treatments, absorb the elastic reactions and all the other kind of mechanical solicitations. www.ozdekan.com

Flexible connectors, rubber expansion joints, play a crucial role in absorbing movement, vibration, and noise within piping systems. These joints adeptly accommodate thermal expansion, contraction, and misalignment while steadfastly maintaining a tight seal.

Axial expansion joints compensate assembly tolerances and thermal longitudinal expansion in the direction of the tube axis. Depending on the design, they can be impinged with pressure internally and externally. Using a guide sleeve protects the metal bellows from abrasive media or flow-induced oscillations. The reaction forces caused by the internal pressure must be absorbed by sufficiently dimensioned anchor points.

Lateral expansion joints absorb movements vertical to the bracing plane. The reaction forces caused by the internal pressure are absorbed by the joint mounting. Under internal pressure expansion joints generated pressure reaction forces. For a better understanding, the following considerations with different diamaters, pressures and resulting from it the forces: DN 150 -> 25 bar ~ 80 kN = 8 t DN 300 -> 10 bar ~ 100 kN = 10 t DN 1000 -> 1.5 bar ~ 130 kN = 13 t Due to high forces, movements in pipelines of higher nominal size and higher pressure can only be absorbed with braced expansion joints. Applying braced expansion joints pressure stress can be absorbed, while fixed bearings can be dimensioned smaller. In case a 3-hinge-system cannot be applied due to missing space, special-purpose solutions like pressure-balanced expansion joints can be installed. Types of design for lateral expansion joints: ball bearing types with tie rods for all-side movements cross hinged types for...

Angular expansion joints absorb movements perpendicular to the bracing lane. The reaction forces caused by the internal pressure are absorbed by the hinge frame. In pipelines of larger nominal size and high pressure only tensioned angular expansion joints in the form of hinge-systems are able to absorb the expansion. Thus, for pipelines expansion joints are only installed as hinge-systems (combination of either 2 or 3 expansion joints). Those are L-, U- or Z-shaped. This requires additionally a 90 ° redirection of the pipeline. Thereby, stress due to inner pressure will be absorbed by the hinge tensioning. In case those systems cannot be applied due to missing space, special-purpose solutions like pressure-balanced expansion joints can be installed.. Types of design for angular expansion joints: Single hinge angular expansion joint for movements in one plane gimbal hinge angular expansion joint for omnidirectional movement
