In industrial production, steam systems serve as the "artery of thermal energy," supporting multiple core processes. However, behind the "bang bang" impact sounds in pipelines, water hammer, an "invisible killer," is constantly threatening enterprise safety and efficiency. According to authoritative foreign research, over 80% of industrial steam systems have varying degrees of water hammer problems, and nearly 70% of steam equipment is scrapped in advance due to this. Some hidden water hammers even lay hidden dangers silently.
    The hazards of water hammer directly hit the lifeblood of enterprises: it not only accelerates equipment depreciation, causing problems such as weld cracking and valve deformation, but also may trigger unplanned shutdowns with a single loss exceeding one million yuan; in extreme cases, pipeline rupture leads to high-temperature steam jetting, inducing accidents such as fires and explosions. Meanwhile, water hammer reflects the low efficiency of system thermal energy transfer, forcing enterprises to increase steam consumption and carbon emissions.
    The generation of water hammer stems from five core causes, covering the entire life cycle of steam systems from startup and operation to condensed water recovery. For industrial enterprises committed to energy conservation and carbon reduction, water hammer prevention is no longer an "option" but must run through the entire life cycle of system design, operation and maintenance. Scientific optimization plans can fundamentally inhibit water hammer and improve thermal energy utilization efficiency.
