In commercial plumbing installations, which often incorporate large diameter pipework and pumped systems, water hammer can be a single destructive event that occurs when a pressure wave rapidly propagates through the pipework. The magnitude of the incident and the reflected pressure waves can sometimes exceed the rated operating pressures of components within the plumbing system. Surges can typically exceed 1.5 times the normal system operating pressure.

Pumps are essential components in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, playing a crucial role in maintaining optimal temperature levels and ensuring efficient operation. These pumps are responsible for circulating the system fluid, facilitating the transfer of heat and enabling the cooling process. By continuously moving the fluid, pumps help transfer heat from the indoor environment to the outside, thereby maintaining comfortable temperatures indoors.

April 22nd is designated as Earth Day. We spend the day (and perhaps a few days on either side) thinking more carefully about the environment and our impact on it. We make commitments around the many ways the years ahead will be different. How we can change. How we can consume less. How we can be more responsible. How we can reduce our carbon footprint, and purchase carbon credits to erase the rest.
