Abstract: In one embodiment, the example thermal expansion support systems decrease the stress within the one or more components and piping segments within a high temperature system caused by thermal expansion. The exemplary thermal expansion support systems may provide a counterbalancing force on the components and piping segments of the high temperature system, which may allow the components and piping segments a free range of motion to counterbalance the stress caused by thermal expansion of the high temperature system. In some embodiments, one example thermal expansion support system may utilize a counterweight system. In another embodiment, an example thermal expansion support system may utilize active system components, such as actuators, hydraulics, electric motors, or other similar devices to provide a counterbalancing force on the one or more components of the high temperature system.
