Surge Anticipating Valve
Surge anticipating valve is used
to anticipate the upsurge
pressure in the system to lessen
the stress in the piping system.
It is normally a double pilot
actuated valve.
5
Operation
SAV open immediately upon such an event in
“anticipation” of the upsurge pressure. Closed tight under
all normal operating conditions.
Opens fully upon power outage and/or when the system
pressure falls to a pre-set minimum (downsurge)
pressure as a result of a sudden stoppage of pumping.
Remains fully open for a pre-determined time
Closes slowly when the time expires
In addition, the valve opens as a surge relief valve should
system pressure attempt to rise above its set point for
protection against "upsurge" pressure.

Surge Vessel
Surge vessel is used for piping
systems to control surge
pressure using a tank filled with
air.
2 types of surge vessel:
Compressor type - air over water
Bladder type – pre-charged air
9
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Initial pre-charged pressure is
adjusted to value from
hydraulic analysis.
Then the gate valve will open to
let the water enter the vessel
under static condition. (static
pressure > pre-charged press.)
The water entering the vessel
will further compress the pre-
charged gas until the balance is
attained.
10
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Immediately after the pump
stop the pressure in the line will
start to decrease and the vessel
will discharged the water to the
line.
When the pressure is very low,
the flow will reverse and the
water will enter into the vessel.
When the pump start, the
vessel will continue to fill until
dynamic steady state is
attained.
