About Water Hammer Damper
Water Hammer Damper
The "HAMMER STOP" device has been designed in order to attenuate the "water hammer" phenomenon which is created in a closed conduct when there is a abrupt variation of the fluid speed. This phenomenon presents itself when there is quick sequence of pressure excesses and drops which creates instability and generates noise and which can provoke serious damages to the systems and the connected devices.
The water hammer damper must be installed near to the devices which can trigger this event such as ball valves, solenoid valves, mixing valves and all hydraulic components capable of stopping the water flow in the pipelines in a sudden way. The norm UNI 9182 "Installations for the alimentation and distribution of cold and hot water. Criteria regarding design, tests and management" recommends the use of a water hammer damper. |
