It also compensates for the thermal expansion of heating pipes, thereby reducing or eliminating the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction. Its purpose is to prevent deformation or damage to heating pipes caused by thermal expansion or temperature stress when the heating pipes are heated, and to reduce stress on the pipe wall and the forces acting on valve components and support structures.

The method includes a full-annular compensation pipe, a reducer and a flange. The full-annular compensation pipe is spiral-shaped. The diameter of the full-annular compensation pipe is larger than the diameter of the corresponding steam pipeline. The inlet and outlet ends of the full-annular compensation pipe are transitionally connected to the steam pipeline via the reducer. The flanges are respectively provided at the ends of the reducer. The thermal compensation method is connected to the steam pipeline via the flange. However, the thermal compensation positioning of the flange in the prior art is not accurate and stable, the compensation is not in place, and the interface is prone to deformation and leakage. It is not more efficient, safe and practical. Summary of the Invention

[0012] 2. In the present invention, the guide rods arranged on the upper and lower sides are used as straight guide rod structures. When the left and right ends of the middle pipe section are thermally elongated due to temperature increase, the travel-limiting telescopic cylinders on the left and right parts of the middle fixed sleeve are used to pull back the elongated part of the flange for dynamic thermal compensation, which is more accurate, stable and practical.
[0013] 3. In the present invention, the stroke-limited telescopic cylinder is electrically connected to the controller, which facilitates the use of the controller to control the stroke-limited telescopic cylinder in real time to extend forward before thermal compensation until there is a certain distance between the pressure plate and the flange. When thermal compensation of the flange is required, the stroke-limited telescopic cylinder is pulled back when it contracts. At this time, the pressure plate is embedded back into the groove, driving the flange back to its original position, so as to achieve the purpose of thermal compensation, which is more efficient and practical.
