There are various connection methods for wind turbine soft connections, each with its unique advantages and applicable scenarios. The following are several common ways of connecting fan soft connections:
1. Flange connection
Characteristics: Flange connection is a commonly used method in soft connection of fans. It uses flanges and bolts to tightly connect the soft connection with the fan and pipeline, with advantages such as firm connection, good sealing, and strong pressure bearing capacity.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for fan systems of various pressure levels, especially in situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance.
Installation points: During installation, it is necessary to ensure the flatness and concentricity of the flange, as well as the tightening torque of the bolts, to ensure the sealing and stability of the connection.
2. Clamp connection (clamp connection)
Features: The clamp connection uses clamps to clamp the soft connection onto the fan and pipeline, making installation simple and fast, without the need for welding or bolt fixation.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for low-pressure fan systems or situations that require quick installation.
Installation points: When selecting clamps, it is necessary to ensure that their size matches the diameter of the flexible connection and pipeline, and adjust the tightening degree of the clamps appropriately to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection.
3. Welding connection
Characteristics: Welding connection is a connection method that directly welds soft connections to fans or pipelines. It has the advantages of tight connection and no leakage, but it is inconvenient to disassemble.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for long-term fixed connections or situations that require high pressure.
Installation points: Before welding, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness and welding quality of the welding area to avoid leakage problems caused by welding defects.
4. Plug in connection
Characteristics: Plug in connection is the process of inserting one end of a flexible connection into the interface of a fan or pipeline, and securing it in place using a certain fixing method (such as bolts, buckles, etc.). This method is easy to install, but the sealing performance may not be as good as flange connections and clamp connections.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for situations where sealing requirements are not high or used as a temporary connection.
Installation points: When plugging in, it is necessary to ensure the size matching of the plugging part and the reliability of the fixing method to ensure the stability of the connection.
5. Other connection methods
In addition to the common connection methods mentioned above, there are also other connection methods such as threaded connections, adhesive connections, etc. These connection methods may also be adopted in certain specific situations, but the choice needs to be based on the actual situation.
