[0002] In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the performance of water hammer protection equipment, each new type of water hammer protection equipment needs to be evaluated for its water hammer protection performance after it is proposed to verify its water hammer protection performance in water transmission systems with different heads and different water transmission distances. Only after confirming that the protection performance is qualified can it be put into production and use.

[0003] When the pump loses power, negative water hammer will occur in the water supply pipeline. Turning off the pump valve will cause a larger positive water hammer, resulting in a large pressure differential between the inside and outside of the pipeline. In severe cases, it may cause accidents such as pipe bursts, endangering the lives of test personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the water hammer protection performance of the equipment from multiple theoretical perspectives, but there is currently a lack of relevant performance testing equipment.

[0079] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described based on the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "on" or "under", it can not only be directly connected to the other element "on" or "under", but also be indirectly connected to the other element "on" or "under" through an intermediate element.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a separate water hammer elimination box performance test device, including: a first water tank (high-level water tank), a second water tank (low-level water tank), a water supply pipeline, a multi-function control valve, a flow regulating valve, a water hammer elimination box main tank, a separate air tank, an air valve, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, an electromagnetic flowmeter, a liquid level meter, a data acquisition system, etc.

[0081] In this example, the first water tank is equipped with a first water level regulating mechanism, which includes a return water tank, a first make-up water pump and a first overflow pipe. The return water tank and the first water tank are connected via a first water supply pipe and a first overflow pipe. The first make-up water pump is installed on the first water supply pipe. The first make-up water pump pumps the water in the return water tank into the first water tank. When the water in the first water tank exceeds the preset first water level, the water flows into the return water tank through the first overflow pipe.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second water tank is equipped with a second water level regulating mechanism, which includes a return water tank, a second water supply pump and a second overflow pipe. The return water tank and the second water tank are connected via a second water supply pipe and a second overflow pipe. The second water supply pipe is equipped with a second water supply pump, which pumps water in the return water tank into the second water tank. When the water in the second water tank exceeds the preset second water level, the water flows into the return water tank through the second overflow pipe.

[0083] In this example, the water supply pipeline has a main pipeline and three secondary pipelines of different lengths. The first end of the main pipeline is connected to the second water tank, the second end of the main pipeline is connected to the first end of each secondary pipeline, and the second end of each secondary pipeline is connected to the first water tank through a flow regulating valve.

[0084] In this embodiment, the three secondary pipelines of different lengths include a first pipeline, a second pipeline and a third pipeline, wherein the first end of the first pipeline is connected to the second end of the main pipeline, and its second end is connected to the flow regulating valve, and the first valve is installed on the first pipeline; the first end of the second pipeline is connected to the first pipeline, and its second end is connected to the flow regulating valve, and the second pipeline is installed on the second valve; the first end of the third pipeline is connected to the second pipeline, and its third end is connected to the flow regulating valve, and the third pipeline is installed on the third valve.

[0085] In this example, the first valve is opened, the second and third valves are closed, and the first pipeline is connected; the second valve is opened, the first and third valves are closed, and the second pipeline (consisting of the second pipeline and part of the first pipeline) is connected; the third valve is opened, the first and second valves are closed, and the third pipeline (consisting of the third pipeline and part of the first and second pipelines) is connected.

[0086] In this embodiment, a main water pump, a pneumatic valve, and a four-way pipe are installed on the main pipeline. The third end of the four-way pipe is connected to the separate water hammer elimination mechanism through the fourth valve, and the fourth end of the four-way pipe is connected to the water hammer protection device (a traditional air tank or other existing water hammer protection device for comparison) through the fifth valve. Valves are also installed on each secondary pipeline.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, in this example, the separate water hammer elimination mechanism includes a water hammer elimination box main tank, an inverted U-shaped connecting pipe and a separate air tank, wherein the first end of the inverted U-shaped connecting pipe is connected to the water hammer elimination box main tank via an air valve and a first bellows, and the second end of the inverted U-shaped connecting pipe is connected to the separate air tank via a second bellows.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the air valve in this embodiment includes: a lower valve body, a guide cylinder, a float, a positioning block, an upper valve body, a limit sleeve, etc., wherein the lower valve body has a valve body chamber, and the lower end of the valve body chamber is provided with an air and water inlet; the guide cylinder is arranged in the valve body chamber, the lower end of the guide cylinder has at least one through hole, and the upper end of the guide cylinder is open and exposed on the upper end surface of the lower valve body; the float is placed in the guide cylinder, and the diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide cylinder; the positioning block is arranged at the bottom of the guide cylinder to support the float; the upper valve body can be assembled with the lower valve body, and the upper end of the guide cylinder is provided with an air inlet and exhaust port; the limit sleeve is arranged in the upper valve body, the lower end of which can be connected with the guide cylinder when the upper and lower valve bodies are assembled, and the upper end is connected to the air inlet and exhaust port, the inner diameter of the lower end of the limit sleeve is adapted to the inner diameter of the guide cylinder, and the inner diameter of the limit sleeve gradually decreases from the lower end to the upper end, and is adapted to the shape of the float.

[0089] In this embodiment, the positioning block can be replaced by opening the upper valve body and taking out the float. By replacing the positioning block, the height of the positioning block is changed, thereby quickly adjusting the float stroke.

[0090] In this example, the gas enters the valve body chamber through the lower gas-water inlet, then enters the guide cylinder through the through hole, and is discharged from the gap between the float and the guide cylinder to the upper air inlet and outlet.

[0091] In this embodiment, water enters the valve body chamber through the lower air-water inlet and then enters the guide cylinder through the through hole. The water level in the guide cylinder rises, and the float moves up with the rising water level until the float enters the limit sleeve and cooperates with the limit sleeve to achieve blocking, thereby preventing gas from being discharged from the air inlet and outlet.

[0092] In this example, both the high-level and low-level water tanks are equipped with liquid level gauges. A pressure sensor is located downstream of the pneumatic valve on the main line. A speed sensor is installed on the main water pump shaft to measure the pump speed. An electromagnetic flowmeter and pressure sensor are located upstream and downstream of the water hammer eliminator. The main tank of the water hammer eliminator is equipped with a liquid level gauge, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor, while the separate air tank is equipped with a temperature sensor and pressure sensor. A gas flowmeter is located on the third connecting pipe. Data collected by these sensors is collected using a data acquisition system.

[0093] In this embodiment, the high-level water tank is set at 6m, and the low-level water tank at 1m. When the water level in the tank exceeds the limit, the water overflows into the return tank. The main pipeline is DN150 and 15m long. It houses the main water pump, a pneumatic valve, and a cross-section pipe. The main water pump is a variable-frequency pump with a rated head of 50m, a rated flow rate of 30L / s, and a rated speed of 2950rpm. The first pipeline is approximately 15m long, while the second and third pipelines are each approximately 200m long.

[0094] The main water hammer eliminator tank is 1 meter tall and 1.1 meter in diameter. An air valve is installed on top of the main tank. The separate air tank is 0.5 meter tall and 1.0 meter in diameter. The main tank and separate air tank are connected by a third connecting pipe. This inverted U-shaped connecting pipe is equipped with diagonal supports to enhance the structural stability of the third connecting pipe.

[0095] The test device of this embodiment can be used to perform performance tests on the separate water hammer suppression box under different water pipeline lengths, different water pipeline impedances, and different air valve elevations, and can also be used for comparative tests with traditional water hammer protection equipment.
