The apparatus can be used to demonstrate the creation and outcome of water hammer and to study how a
hydraulic ram works. The water is fed to the ram via a long pipe at a gradient.
Snappishly disturbing the water flow can cause water hammer in the pipeline. This generally unsought
effect is cast-off specifically in special equipment (hydraulic ram) to raise water to a developed level.
Unlike conventional pumps, no additional mechanical energy is compulsory.
Specification
- Water Supply and Flow rate measurement
using base Module EDC-FM-100.
- Creation and effect of water hammer.
- Fixed overflow tank is used as a water
foundation.
- High tank with variable pump head.
- Waste valve with changeable lift, closes
cyclically due to flow force of the water.
- Tank with non-return butterfly valve and air
volume is used as an air vessel.
- Air volume in the air vessel is varied by vent
valve.
