Electronic timer for mitigation of solenoid valve water hammer effect

Abstract

An electronic timer for mitigation of a solenoid valve water hammer effect is provided. The electronic timer comprises a housing defining an internal receiving space, a water pipe extending through the housing with an inlet section and an outlet section connected by a water control section aligned with the internal receiving space, a solenoid control valve integrated into the water control section to regulate fluid flow, a control interface provided on the housing, and a water hammer suppressor positioned between the solenoid control valve and the inlet section. The water hammer suppressor consists of a fluid passage and a buffer assembly, wherein the fluid passage establishes hydraulic communication with the water control section to allow fluid ingress, and the buffer assembly functions to attenuate transient pressure surges, thereby mitigating the water hammer effect. -10- 20 25 20 17 50 11 M ar 2 02 5 A B S T R A C T 2 0 2 5 2 0 1 7 5 0 1 1 M a r 2 0 2 5 - 1 0 - 10 40 41 11 21 50 20 22 23 30 521 524 FIG.2 10 41 40 X 11 20 2250 524 521 21 23 30 0 FIG.2 20 25 20 17 50 11 M ar 2 02 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 1 7 5 0 1 1 M a r © F I G . 2
