Applications of Universal Bellows Power Generation: Universal bellows are often used in boiler and turbine systems to manage thermal expansion, absorbing movements caused by temperature changes and pressure variations in steam and gas lines. Oil and Gas Industry: Essential in refineries and offshore platforms, universal bellows manage significant lateral movement in long piping runs, ensuring system integrity. Chemical Processing: With their ability to withstand corrosive chemicals and thermal stress, universal bellows are used in chemical transport lines, especially in complex piping layouts. HVAC Systems: Universal bellows are used in large duct systems to accommodate temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and reducing stress on the ducting structure. Types of Universal Bellows by Excel Bellows Standard Universal Bellows: Suitable for general-purpose applications where multi-directional movement absorption is required, these bellows are designed to provide basic flexibility and manage thermal expansion effectively. Tied Universal Bellows: Tied universal bellows are ideal when space constraints require controlled movement. Externally Pressurized Universal Bellows: These bellows are designed for applications with high-pressure conditions, ensuring stability and allowing for higher pressure absorption through external pressurization. Advantages of Using Universal Bellows from Excel Bellows Increased Movement Capability: Universal bellows absorb greater lateral and angular displacement than single bellows, making them suitable for complex piping arrangements. Versatile Application: The ability to handle multiple movement types makes these bellows ideal for diverse industries, from HVAC to heavy industrial applications. Cost-Effective: By preventing pipeline damage and extending system life, universal bellows offer a cost-effective solution for systems subject to multi-directional stresses. Custom Design Options: Excel Bellows offers customized universal bellows tailored to your specific application needs, ensuring the best fit for your system’s requirements.
