Abstract: Air may be efficiently used in water pumping system protection from hydraulic shock, due to its elasticity. The paper presents the results regarding the extreme pressures in the discharge duct of a pumping installation, obtained by numerical simulation of the water hammer phenomenon in two cases of protection with air: using air chamber and using free air dispersed throughout the pumped water. The air chamber increases the pipe wall elasticity in the particular section where the chamber is mounted. The air bubbles transform single-phase water into a biphasic fluid with greater compressibility. Specific parameters are related to these methods, in order to establish criteria for best protection solution choice in water supply engineering design.
