Abstract
An axially sealing system connectable by screwing, for connecting fluid-passed conduits, is disclosed, wherein the system has a uniform sealing effect over wide temperature ranges, and wherein a reliability, an ease of assembly, and an adaptability to various operating conditions of the system are maximized, and an amount of materials and a cost of production thereof are minimized.
Claims20
A system for connecting fluid-passed conduits comprising:
- two connection blocks, one of the connection blocks having a male connection component, the other of the connection blocks having a female connection component, wherein the connection blocks are joined together by a fastening means having an elastically deflectable transfer component.
An axially sealing system for connecting fluid-passed conduits comprising:
- two connection blocks, one of the connection blocks having a male connection component, the other of the connection blocks having a female connection component, wherein the connection blocks are sealingly engaged by a fastening means having an elastically deflectable transfer component, and wherein the elastically deflectable transfer component is pretensioned against at least one of the connection blocks.
An axially sealing system for connecting fluid-passed conduits comprising:
- two connection blocks formed from aluminium, one of the connection blocks having a male connection component, the other of the connection blocks having a female connection component, wherein the connection blocks are sealingly engaged by a steel fastening means having an elastically deflectable transfer component, and wherein the elastically deflectable transfer component is pretensioned against at least one of the connection blocks and is dimensioned to compensate for a thermal expansion of the fastening means and the connection blocks in a temperature range of about −40° C. to about 200° C.
