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.
