Carbon Steel Air-Cushion Water Hammer Absorber 8000X-16C

Air-Cushion Water Hammer Absorber(also known as the gelatin capsule type)water hammer eliminatorThis device absorbs residual pressure from water hammer in pipeline water supply systems. During the conveyance of water and other media, water hammer phenomena frequently occur when unstable characteristics such as valve opening/closing or pump operation, combined with sudden changes or flow fluctuations, cause pressure variations within pipes. This is particularly common in high-rise buildings. Beyond generating annoying noise and vibrations, severe water hammer can impair system functionality and damage other equipment.This valve effectively absorbs the high-pressure shock waves generated by water hammer, thereby regulating pipeline pressure and preventing pipeline damage. It is widely applicable in various water supply and drainage systems, including industrial facilities, enterprises, high-rise buildings, and power plants.

Performance Characteristics

• The product features a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain.

• Stable performance and responsive operation effectively and rapidly eliminate noise and vibration in operating pipelines.

• Under all operating conditions in the pump piping system, it effectively eliminates irregular water hammer oscillations.

• High pressure resistance, capable of withstanding the impact of high-pressure water hammer.

Working Principle

Principle of the Air-Cushion Water Hammer Absorber: Under normal flow conditions, water flows through the pipeline via a perforated pipe and exits from the opposite end. When the water pressure exceeds the elastic strength of the telescopic liner and the pressure exerted by the air bladder on the liner, the telescopic liner bulges irregularly toward the air bladder. When the water pressure is lower than or equal to the air bladder pressure and the elastic strength of the telescopic liner, no bulging occurs.The water pressure within the valve body is transmitted to the telescopic liner via the perforated pipe. Due to the combined effects of the telescopic liner's elasticity and the air bladder's pressure, the telescopic liner provides rapid and effective buffering against the instantaneous pressure of water waves. This regulates the pressure within the pipe.Note: The optimal airbag inflation pressure is 70% of the working pressure. This pressure can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the nozzle valve. Tighten all bolts before installation to ensure proper equipment function. Tip: This product achieves optimal performance when installed downstream of a check valve with slow-closing or noise-reducing features.
