A novel passive surge water hammer protection system, which is useful for Automated Surge Water-Hammer Transients control, protection and for preventing water hammer transients from occurring in a water pipeline & pumping plant. The present SCT invention creates two differential HGLs at same junction/node, Upstream level at (16) and Downstream level at (10) inside the circular vertical loop (4)=(1,16,9,10,11,2) an unequal column separation, vertical differential (16,10) is developed, this simple passive method to force the minimum negative pressure from below the pipe invert level to minimum positive pressure (16,10) which is well above the pipe invert level (HGL-3).

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.

A filter pulsation dampening device has a replaceable filter element including a plurality of baffles disposed next to each other or a flexible valve that is disposed proximate a baffle.

A snubber includes a head portion, a shank portion, and a threaded portion. The shank portion is attached to the head portion, and the shank portion defines a shank diameter. The threaded portion is attached to the shank portion, and the threaded portion includes an external helical thread wrapped around a central shaft. The external helical thread defines a threaded diameter, and the central shaft defines a central shaft diameter. The shank diameter and the thread diameter are sized such that the shank portion and the threaded portion define at least one fluid flow path when the snubber is installed in a pressure sensor.

Hydraulic valves for dampening pressure spikes and associated methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a hydraulic valve for dampening pressure spikes includes a valve body, a poppet at least partially inside the valve body, and a pilot piston at least partially inside the valve body and away from the poppet. The pilot piston contacts the poppet in response to a pressure spike.

A pressure reducing valve may include a valve body, a connecting tube, and a pressure-reducing member. The valve body is a three-way intercommunicated valve body which respectively forms into a water inlet end, a water outlet end, and a pressure-reducing tube. The connecting tube is connected to an extending section thereof, and at least a first annular groove is formed at an outer periphery of the extending section for disposing an O-ring thereon. An annular surface formed between the connecting tube and the extending section is faced to the extending section. The pressure-reducing member is hollow and has a closed end and an open end, and a buffer block is installed therein. The open end is abutted against the annular surface of the extending section, and a coupled portion between the open end and the annular surface is welded together to form a welding portion therebetween.

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.
