Resumen

Air valves are protective devices often used in pressurised water pipelines, ideally admitting air to limit sub-atmospheric pressures and controlling the release of entrapped air. This work summarises a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the transient behaviour in a rising water pipeline with an air valve following a pump trip. The paper examines the water hammer stages associated with a pump trip, namely, the initial depressurisation, followed by air admission, then air expulsion, and finally the creation of a secondary pressure wave. For each air valve location and specific set of design conditions, the relationship between the transient magnitude and air valve outflow capacity is found to be non-linear, but to roughly follow the shape of a logistic curve having a lower left plateau for attenuated (type 1) behaviour and transitioning through type 2 behaviour to a higher right plateau for water-hammer-dominated (type 3) behaviour. Through an extensive set of simulations covering a wide range of conditions, the study identifies the size of the critical outflow orifices associated with both type 1 and type 3 responses and assesses the influence of the location of the air valve on the transient magnitude and on the timing of air pocket collapse. Furthermore, the paper highlights that a non-slam air valve is capable of effectively mitigating transient magnitudes provided that its design parameters are judiciously chosen and account for both the system?s attributes and the characteristics of the transient event.
