Metalpress dished heads: versatile solutions for industry
If you have come into contact with the world of the thermal, chemical or food industry, chances are that you have heard of cylinder bottoms. But what exactly are they and how are they used?
A domed bottom is, as the name suggests, a dome-shaped component that can be made of various materials, including carbon and stainless steel.
The concave shape can vary in size and depth and is achieved by cold stamping or bending processes of sheet metal to give the steel its characteristic convex shape.
Applications of Metalpress dished ends
Let's discover together some examples of the use of dished ends in different industrial sectors.
Thermosanitary Sector
Condensation boilers. Steel dished ends are often used in condensing boilers, where they play a crucial role in the transfer of heat from the flue gases to the heating water. This heat recovery process significantly increases the energy efficiency of heating systems.
Heat exchangers. In water heating and cooling systems, steel dished ends are a key component in heat exchangers. These exchangers allow heat to pass between fluids without mixing them, improving the efficiency of thermal systems.
Chemical sector
Chemical Reactors. In chemical reactors, steel dished ends are used to contain and handle chemical reactions at high pressure and temperature. Their convex shape makes them ideal for resisting mechanical and thermal stress.
Storage Tanks. Storage tanks in which hazardous chemicals or reagents are stored often use steel dished ends to ensure tightness and safety.
Industrial Sector
Storage Tanks. In the industrial sector, steel dished ends are used in storage tanks for a wide range of materials, including fuels, oils and chemicals. Their mechanical and corrosion resistance makes them a reliable choice for the containment of liquids and gases.
Pressure Vessels. In power generation and power plant engineering, steel dished ends are often used in pressure vessels to safely contain fluids under pressure.
In summary, steel dished ends are essential components used in many industries. Their shape and the properties of steel make them essential for heat transfer, chemical process safety and fluid handling.
