Analysis of the causes of steam water hammer

This post was last edited by Catalyzing a Grain on 2018-4-12 at 10:51. Yesterday, water hammer occurred when I started using steam to heat the pipes. Many people said it was because steam entered the pipes; there was water at the bottom, and when the steam above condensed, a vacuum was created. The liquid at the bottom was drawn upward and collided with the pipes, causing this phenomenon. In my opinion, the liquid is at the bottom, above…
Even if a vacuum is created in the upper part, the liquid at the lower part will not rise upward due to gravity beneath the pipe; it doesn’t move up as some people claim. I hope all the fellow sailors can help out, hahahahaha
Open the steam trap to drain the condensed water from the steam pipeline.
It’s a common phenomenon when warming up steam pipes or purging them at the bottom of the pipeline.
This is a common phenomenon that occurs when warming up steam pipes or allowing air into them; the solution is to open the drain valve to remove the condensed water from within the steam pipes.
When the levelness of the horizontal sections of the pipeline is poor, it is prone to occur at the end with the lower horizontal height； Elbows, expansion joints, and valves are prone to appear in such locations
