  2. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Hydraulic shock (colloquial: water hammer; fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly: a momentum change. It is usually observed in a liquid but gases can also be affected.

  3. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

    Hydropneumatic water hammer preventers are chambers of sufficient volume to allow an extension of time in which a given flow may be accelerated or decelerated without sudden large change in pressure. See also expansion tank. When shock waves of an incompressible fluid within a piping system exist, especially at a high velocity, there is a high ...

  4. Pipe support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_support

    Water hammer: Water hammer (or more generally, fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change). Water hammer commonly occurs when a valve closes suddenly at an end of a pipeline system, and a pressure wave ...

  5. Expansion tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_tank

    An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to protect closed water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whose compressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer [citation needed] and absorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion. [1]

  6. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    A snubber is a device used to suppress ("snub") a phenomenon such as voltage transients in electrical systems, pressure transients in fluid systems (caused by for example water hammer) or excess force or rapid movement in mechanical systems.

  7. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    In water distribution systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower, or other fixture. Water pressure may fail or be reduced when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system (for example, when several fire hydrants are opened).

  9. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

    The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started. The hydraulic ram is sometimes used in remote areas, where there is both a source of low-head hydropower and a need for pumping water to a destination ...
