The Effect Of Using Gas Accumulator With One Way Surge Tanks On Protecting Delivery Pipes Line From Water Hammer

Because of the importance of water hummer and it’s big impact in pumping pipes, an analytical study of water hummer resulting from the pumping station abruptly stopped working (due to a power outage on water pipe line that conveys water from ground open tank to three overhead open tanks was conducted, and without means of protection from water hummer . maximum and minimum pressure values and the location of each of them in the network have been identified. It was found that the pump trip caused a transient state with negative pressure along the pipe system. The values of maximum pressure were less than the pressure tube run.
