Compensator, in particular for motor vehicle applications

Abstract

The invention relates to a compensator (1) used for compensating two pipeline elements, in particular for motor vehicle applications. The compensator (1) comprises a multi-layer corrugated pipe (4), which is used as a wall, and comprises at least two stacked layers (5a,5b). A gap (Z) is correspondingly formed between the layers. In order to prevent forming of cracks, friction reduction agent (6) exists in the at least one gap (Z).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a compensator for compensating relative movements of two line elements, in particular as flexible line elements for motor vehicle applications, comprising a multilayer bellows comprising as a wall At least two layers placed one above the other, correspondingly forming interspaces between the layers. Background technique [0002] Especially in motor vehicles with internal combustion engines, but also in the case of conventional internal combustion engines (stationary and moving turbine engines), as well as in industrial plants and chemical reactors, vibrations and relative movements occur during operation, which also Passable to catheter. This is induced, for example, by oscillating masses, imbalances of rotating components and by moments of inertia when the engine load changes. In order to compensate movements in the conduit, in particular due to the aforementioned vibrations or relative movements, in the case of thermodynami...
