SURGE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Surge Pressure ( Water Hammer) is a phenomena which occurs in water pipelines which is generated by the sudden change in the flow velocity

FACTORS EFFECTING THE FLOW VELOCITY OF THE SYSTEM ARE:

Associated Vacuum

Associated Discharge

Associated Pressure Difference

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SURGE PRESSURE

Pipe Bursts

Heavy damages to pumping station

WHERE DOES THIS WATER HAMMER OCCUR?

Water hammer occurs both in pumping main & gravity line but predominantly water hammer occurs in pumping main with the following factors:

FACTORS EFFECTING THE FLOW VELOCITY OF THE SYSTEM ARE:

Pump failure with high pumping head/power Cut

Severe undulations in the L section of pumping main

Sudden opening/closing of valve etc…

We provide optimistic solutions that protect systems from surge (excessively high pressure caused by pump stoppage or sudden valve closure).
