System and method for mitigating water hammer by looping surge pressure
A water hammer mitigation system includes a branch connection with ends coupled to a main pipeline, where a first end connects at a surge point on the main pipeline and a second end fluidly connects to the main pipeline at a distal point. A bi-directional surge relief device is disposed on the branch connection, and is operable to move to a first open configuration to permit pipeline fluid within the main pipeline to flow through the branch connection when surge point pressure reaches a designated pressure. The device can also move to a second open configuration when surge point pressure reaches another designated pressure. The device is closeable when surge point pressure is between the designated pressures.
Damping device
A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure impacts, like pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits has a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber with a fluid inlet (13) and a fluid outlet (15). A damping tube (21; 51) is located in the flow path between the damping inlet and outlet and has a branch opening (29; 73, 75, 77, 79, 81) passing through the tube wall and leading to a Helmholtz volume (27; 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) inside of the damping housing (1) forming a Helmholtz resonator in a region positioned inside of the length of the damping tube. A fluid filter (35) is arranged inside of the damping housing (1) in the flow path between the fluid inlet (13) and fluid outlet (15).

ACCUMULATOR INTEGRATED INTO A FUEL LINE
A fuel pressure accumulator for a fuel supply circuit of a turbine engine having at least one pipe is provided. The fuel pressure accumulator generally includes at least one housing adjacent to said pipe and receiving at least one deformable enclosure confining a gas and having at least one movable wall in contact with the fuel in order to dampen a fuel overpressure, where the housing is coaxial with the pipe and the accumulator has a permeable chamber delimited at least partially by the housing, pressurizing the deformable enclosure and communicating with the main fuel flow via a grid with staged walls tilted, with respect to a direction of the flow flowing along the grid, substantially in the direction of the deformable enclosure.
BEND PIPE AND FLUID MACHINE COMPRISING SAME
A bend pipe for supplying a fluid to a fluid machine or discharging the fluid from the fluid machine, wherein, provided that: a line including a pipe axial center line of an inlet pipe portion and an extension line thereof is defined as a line L; a line including a pipe axial line of an outlet pipe portion and an extension line thereof is defined as a line M; and a direction parallel to an intersection line formed by a plane orthogonal to the line M and a plane orthogonal to the line M is defined as a direction I, and when, as seen from the direction I, a side of the line M on which the inlet pipe portion exists is defined as a front side and a side of the line M on which the inlet pipe portion does not exist is defined as a back side, a side surface on an outer side with respect to a bend direction of a bend pipe portion includes an outer inclined surface on the back side of the line M, the outer inclined surface being inclined so that a distance from the line M decreases toward a downstream side.
PIPE DEVICE INCLUDING SLAM MITIGATING MEANS
The present invention relates to a water piping system, and more particularly, to a water piping system configured to reduce slam and water hammer of a check valve through delay of backflow of fluid by ejecting water stored in a pressure tank to a fluid forward direction at a high pressure when a pump in the water pipe is suddenly stopped, and through inducement of complete closure of the check valve by reducing a pressure applied to the check valve.

WATER PIPING SYSTEM WITH SLAM MITIGATION FUNCTION OF CHECK VALVE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The present invention relates to a water piping system. More particularly, it relates to a water piping system that can alleviate water hammer due to slamming of a check valve by reducing the pressure difference between the front end and the rear end of the check valve by supplying some of fluid at the rear side of the check valve to the front side of the check valve when a pump is stopped, and a method of controlling the water piping system. The present invention includes: a sub-pipe having both ends connected to a front side and a rear side of the check valve, respectively, and supplying some of fluid at the rear side of the check valve to the front side of the check valve to suppress negative pressure and low pressure that is generated at the front end of the check valve when the pump is stopped.
