Surge Tank and Reservoir- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The demonstrates the principle of
operation of a surge chamber and the non-steady state flow behaviour of
water as, e.g., occurs at dams and in retention basins. In both systems
the water rises before it is fed via an overflow to a load (e.g. a
turbine) or a reservoir. A device that is capable, e.g., of absorbing
pressure surges produced by a sudden change in the flow rate is termed a
”surge chamber” (used e.g. in hydroelectric power stations) The surge
chamber is often designed as a cylindrical shaft in which the
oscillation of the pressure pulse can subside undisturbed. The model
system is equipped with pressure sensors. The pressure conditions that
occur and the oscillations caused by a pressure surge are recorded using
a chart recorder. Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipments manufacturers
