Water Hammering and Surge Analysis
Water Hammering and Surge Analysis uses advanced computational techniques to predict and mitigate the effects of sudden changes in fluid velocity within piping systems. These phenomena often result from rapid valve closures, pump starts or stops, and changes in system demand, causing pressure surges and vibrations that can lead to structural damage, pipe fatigue, and system failure. Surge analysis is critical in preventing costly equipment failures and ensuring system reliability. Modern simulation tools allow engineers to model complex fluid behavior in pipelines, identify surge pressures, and design effective solutions, such as surge relief valves or dampening devices.
The advantages of Water Hammering and Surge Analysis include:
Early Detection of Risks: Simulation can be conducted at the design stage to predict surge risks and optimize the system before any physical installation.
Detailed Insights: Surge analysis software offers comprehensive insights into every point in a system, highlighting potential vulnerabilities that are difficult to capture with physical testing.
Cost Savings: By accurately modeling potential water hammer effects, companies can reduce the need for expensive prototypes and physical testing, leading to more cost-efficient project execution.
In addition, some pressure surges are too complex or dangerous to replicate in real-world conditions. In these cases, simulation-based analysis becomes the most reliable method for engineers to predict system behavior and implement appropriate countermeasures.

Valve Closing Time
Valve closure plays a crucial role in managing pressure transients during surge analysis. Valve closing time and vapor pressure are key parameters that directly influence system behavior in pressure surge scenarios, as they can significantly impact pressure fluctuations and the risk of cavitation.
Tank Filling Time
Facility upgrades often require reconfiguring piping networks to prevent uneven tank filling and meet specific filling requirements. Optimizing these networks ensures consistent flow rates to the tanks, promoting uniform filling and efficient operation.
