Abstract

A conduit slider for chemical and petrochemical systems, comprising a slider housing ( 10 ) which has a blockable conduit ( 20 ) and at least one slider plate ( 30 ) which can be moved into an open position and a closed position and vice versa. A sealing seat ( 40 ) is paired with the conduit ( 20 ), said sealing seat extending along the circumference of the conduit ( 20 ) and sealing against the slider plate ( 30 ) at least in the closed position during operation. The conduit slider ensures the seal between the sealing seat ( 40 ) and the slider plate ( 30 ) and allows the slider plate ( 30 ) to be installed into and removed from the slider housing ( 10 ) with a compact, portable, simple, and inexpensive design. This is achieved in that at least one circumferential groove ( 42 ) is formed in the sealing seat ( 40 ), a molded metal ring ( 50 ) with a media filling being arranged in said groove.

Claims (21)

1. A conduit slider for chemical and petrochemical systems, said conduit slider comprising:

a slider housing ( 10 ) having a lockable conduit pipe ( 20 ); and

at least one slider plate ( 30 ) movable into an open position and a closed position and vice versa,

wherein:

a sealing seat ( 40 ) is associated with the conduit pipe ( 20 ),

the sealing seat extends along the circumference of the conduit pipe ( 20 ) and seals against the slider plate ( 30 ) at least in the closed position during operation,

at least one circumferential groove ( 42 ) is formed in the sealing seat ( 40 ) in which a metallic shaped ring ( 50 ) with media filling is arranged

the sealing seat ( 40 ) comprises a radially inwardly arranged sealing and scraper edge ( 60 ) and a gas barrier, which is formed between the radially outwardly arranged shaped ring ( 50 ) and the radially inwardly arranged sealing and scraper edge ( 60 ).

2. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped ring ( 50 ) rests on the slider plate ( 30 ) in the closed position.

3. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein:

the sealing seat ( 40 ) comprises a sealing ring ( 43 ),

at least one circumferential groove ( 45 ) is formed on the upper side ( 44 ) of the sealing ring ( 43 ) in which the shaped ring is arranged ( 50 ), and

at least one sealing surface ( 47 ) is arranged on the bottom side ( 46 ) of the sealing ring ( 43 ), which sealing surface rests on the slider plate ( 30 ) at least in the closed position.

4. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing seat ( 40 ) comprises an at least single-acting, static sealing system which interacts with the slider plate ( 30 ).

5. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped ring ( 50 ) is pressed into the circumferential groove ( 42 , 45 ).

6. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing seat ( 40 ) comprises two concentric circumferential grooves ( 42 , 45 ) in which one shaped ring ( 50 ) each is arranged.

7. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped ring ( 50 ) consists of an O-ring with a gas filling.

8. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped ring ( 50 ) consists of a C-ring with an elastic element arranged therein.

9. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the conduit slider is formed as a double-plate slider with two parallel slider plates ( 30 ).

10. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the conduit slider is formed as a single-plate slider with a single slider plate ( 30 ).

11. A conduit pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the gas barrier is a vapour barrier ( 70 ).
