Principles of design of specialized technological equipment

The paper presents a universal principle of design of flexible schemes of specialized technological equipment and a modular principle of design of construction and elements of special technological equipment. The construction elements of equipment, which allow changing the linear dimensions of this equipment in a wide range are designed. The application of designed elements for changing one or several linear dimensions of the equipment is possible in a complex and independently of each other. The possibility of application of proposed design changes of equipment with the preservation of the required strength characteristics is substantiated. Three-dimensional models of construction elements and equipment in general are developed. Researches by changing of reservoir design by using a replaceable construction element are carried out. An analysis of the strength characteristics of integral reservoir and reservoir with a replaceable end wall from various materials is presented.
