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.
