Abstract
For a large water pumping system with major surge protection devices, waterhammer analyses and site measurements have been conducted. Experiences have been obtained with respect to on-line and one-way surge tanks. The efficacy of these various surge protection devices has been assessed from site measurements. The large pumping system consisted of a 30-kilometer steel pipeline with four surge tanks and two one-way surge tanks. For this three-pump installation, measurements of pump speed, discharge valve position, pump flow rate, and pressure at seven locations were conducted under various transient test conditions. The site measurements under three-pump operation allowed for improvement of hydraulic transient calculations for future expansion to four and five pumps.
