Impacts of Transients
• High Pressure
Failure Pumps, Valves
Pipe Rupture
Disintegration of Pipe Lining
Pipe Leaks
• Low Pressure
Cavitation and Column Separation
Collapsing of Pipe
Intrusion of Contaminants
Vapor Cavities: Very High Pressures

Important ARV Features
• Avoid Rapid Air Expulsion
Secondary Surges
Two / Three Stages: Restrict Air Release
Proprietary Designs:
Surge Check Valves
Bias Mechanisms
Throttling Devices
• Sealing Pressure < Static Head
Valve Doesn’t Seal: Discharge Sewage
