Steam Hammer due to valve opening
Steam Hammer due to valve opening
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the effect of fast opening of valve containing high pressure steam (1140 psi) on one side to a large condenser coil tubes. The tube is U shaped 1.5" OD, SST. How do I calculate the hammering loads. Does the fast opening of valve has any significant effect on the system ?
Any reference to literature addressing this phenomenon would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot of literature on valve opening (Jourowsky Euqation). But the valve opening phenomenon has not be addressed widely.
Thanks

Steam hammer is something different, a google search can explain it better than I can here.
