Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for arranging on location a tube from pliable foil material which is held in a tubular shape by one or more curved ribbings, for example in the form of a spirally wound wire, which tube is compressed in axial sense for transporting and storage.
- Such tubes are typically manufactured from aluminium foil material which is very sensitive to deformation as a result of localized pressure. Since for transport purposes such a tube is compressed beforehand in axial sense in the factory where it is manufactured so that a small packet is obtained, this must be stretched to the normal operational length on site.
- Such tubes serve for example for transporting gases, in particular hot gases, whereby the tube is usually also insulated by means of an additional, external second tube of insulating material, for example foam material or rock wool and the like. It has been usual up until now to stretch the tube manually, which always leads to damage of the tube periphery, which damage is almost impossible to repair.
- the invention has for its object to improve a method of the type described in the preamble such that such damage no longer occurs.
- the method is distinguished in that, prior to expanding, at least one annular body is arranged in or round the tube such that at a determined cross-section of the tube a radial pressure is exerted on the foil material on all sides, and the body is then moved along the tube in axial sense while a friction is applied by means of a pulling element in order to expand the tube.
- the annular body is formed by a shrink foil which is arranged around the tube and which is arranged around the compressed tube by supplying heat. Arranging of the foil can take place easily because of the over-dimensioning but by supplying heat the shrink foil uniformly and closely envelopes the periphery of the tube. By connecting the shrink foil to the pulling element the desired radial pressure on all sides of the foil material can thus be exerted with the pulling element.
- the shrink foil is arranged around the whole compressed tube as a sleeve. This simplifies arranging of the pulling element, since this can be fixed to the portion of the sleeve protruding outside the compressed tube.
- the sleeve can moreover be provided with weak points so that, when the sleeve is simultaneously pulled to both sides, it can tear at the weak spots whereby the tube can be expanded to both sides.
- the method lends itself particularly effectively for arranging the compressed tube with the annular body or the shrink foil sleeve in a second tube of insulating material prior to the expansion of the compressed tube.
- the second tube of insulating material can be arranged in advance on site, wherein the pulling element only needs to be pulled at both ends to uniformly expand the sleeve, and therewith the tube of foil material, in the tube of foam material or the like. In this manner an insulated tube is obtained without damage which can moreover be laid very quickly.
- the obtained packet can be delivered as a unit on site and be expanded there in the sequence: insulated tube and then the tube of foil material.
- Designated with the numeral 1 is the tube of foil material which is made for example of aluminium material.
- the aluminium foil is for instance 0.2 mm thick, which makes the tube very sensitive to external forces.
- the tube is provided for this purpose inter alia with a spirally wound wire 2 which holds the foil material in a tubular form.
- the tube of foil material has to be protected by a tube of insulating material 3 which is arranged therearound and which serves for instance to prevent heat loss from hot gases guided through the tube 1.
- This can for example be a gas for a hot air heating system.
- Such assemblies are coupled to each other in the usual manner and therefore form a pipe system.
- the tube 1 For transportation from the factory to the location where the tubes must be placed, at least the tube 1 is compressed in axial sense, which is indicated by 4 in fig. 2. Since the foil material is easily pliable, the spirally wound wire 2 can easily be compressed into a packet of much smaller axial length.
- this tube 3 which is designated by 5 in fig. 2, is held fixedly at either end by a pressure plate 6 against the head ends which can be mutually joined.
- These plates 6 form for instance a part of a packing box 7, which can consist of any random material, for example cardboard, and be of sufficient strength to resist the compression forces on the insulating tube 5.
- the invention therefore proposes to arrange a sleeve of shrink foil 10 around the compressed tube 4.
- This shrink foil is tied together at both ends into a knot 11, to which a pulling cord 12 is arranged.
- the shrink sleeve 10 which is provided beforehand with a weakened point between the knots 11, can be respectively cut through and pulled into two parts, wherein the left-hand portion in fig. 4 remains fastened to the fixed point 13 via cord 12, and the right-hand portion is pulled by the cord 12 in the direction of the arrow P1. Because of the friction forces occurring along the whole periphery of the tube 4 this is expanded without damage to the length of tube 3.
- a following section of insulated tube can then be arranged.
- the tube of foil material 1 can also be expanded without the insulating tube 3 by means of a sleeve 10.
- the sleeve 10 does not need to have the form of a closed bag, but can also consist of one single annular body provided with means for tying on a pulling cord 12. Only one annular body may therein be sufficient but it is also possible to use two bodies which are pulled to either side in accordance with the method described with reference to figure 4.
