Can the expansion joint bear the negative?

There is a heat exchanger, the shell is carbon steel, the pressure is higher (5.5MPa) and there is negative pressure, need to set expansion joints, but customers want us to set expansion joints in the form of U shape,
How do I choose here?

Look at your condition, it is best to need to set up thin-walled expansion joints, but if it is U shaped thin-walled expansion joints, may not be able to withstand negative pressure, you have to calculate the specific view
