An experimental device for measuring the action characteristics of an overpressure relief device under water hammer conditions

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of research on the operational characteristics of overpressure relief devices, and particularly to an experimental device for measuring the operational characteristics of overpressure relief devices under water hammer conditions. The device includes: a high-pressure air compressor, a frame, a piston accumulator, a quick-opening device, a high-pressure test assembly, and a high-frequency dynamic pressure sensor. This invention enables the measurement of operational characteristics under different pressure rise rate loads caused by water hammer phenomena on a test bench, providing an experimental platform for the research on the operational characteristics of overpressure relief devices under high pressure rise rates. The overall device is simple, quick, and stable. It effectively solves the problem of applying high pressure rise rate loads in current overpressure relief device operational characteristic measurement tests, overcomes the danger of using combustible gas explosions as pressure sources in existing operational characteristic measurement tests, and overcomes the shortcomings of existing test methods, such as long testing times, the need to calculate gas explosion pressure, and the difficulty in accurately controlling the pressure rise rate.
