Water hammer solutions
Thread Content
The temperature of the reactor is around 220 degrees, with cooling water flowing through the external coil from top to bottom to lower the temperature. When cooled by cooling water, the water hammer noise is very loud, and the cooling water pipes vibrate severely. May I ask if installing a vent valve at the top of the cooling water pipe can solve the water hammer problem in this situation?
Cooling water temperature? Has some of the cooling water evaporated into water vapor? The temperature difference for heat exchange here is a bit high; at such high temperatures, I would consider using heat transfer oil for heat exchange.
It should be possible; the key is the location where the exhaust valve or safety valve is installed.
Yes, it must have evaporated into water vapor; the water hammer is causing severe headaches.

Our cooling water flows in from below and out from above; we install it at the upper inlet and outlet main pipes.
What brand and model is the exhaust valve you have installed?
Could you please go into more detail? Regarding the simplified process, as well as the models of exhaust valves and the manufacturers, etc. Thank you!
See if it’s possible to let water in from the bottom up? ? With such high temperatures, it’s better to use heat transfer oil!
