FLB 09.2 – Hydraulic Ram Study

With this equipment is intended to study and demonstrate the operation of a hydraulic ram, a system by which we can raise a liquid to a height higher than the height of supply, without external energy input.

Description
The ram uses more water in its process than the one that drives, the proportion driven is between 10-15%. But as it operates all the time, this small amount will always be useful.
The practices and experiences that will be realized with this equipment are the following:
    • Visualization and analysis of the water hammer phenomenon caused by the closing of a valve.
    • Study and understanding the operation of the hydraulic ram.
    • Obtaining the flow ratio.
    • Water hammer efficiency.
