<p>A water hammer mitigation device (100) includes an inlet (102), an outlet (104), an expansion housing (106), and a deflector (136). The inlet (102) receives fluid from a source. The outlet (104) passes the fluid to a destination. The expansion housing (106) is disposed between the inlet (102) and the outlet (104). The expansion housing (106) defines an internal expansion chamber (132) having an expansion volume sufficient to hold a plurality of volume units of the fluid. Each volume unit is defined by a fluid flow volume over a duration of time. The deflector (136) is disposed within the expansion chamber (132). The deflector (136) substantially redirects a backward energy pulse, which enters the expansion chamber (132) through the outlet (104), away from the inlet (102).</p> |
