Industry: District Heating
Operating Conditions: DN1200, 150°C hot water, 200-meter pipe section, thermal expansion of 240 mm, confined space.
Solution: Rotary bellows compensator (254SMO) to replace traditional π-bends.
Results: Space requirements reduced by 60%, compensation capacity of 200 mm, and no corrosion or leaks after 5 years of operation.
Key Points: Use 254SMO for high chloride ion concentrations (>50 ppm); prioritize rotary expansion joints in space-constrained applications.
