HYDRAULIC STORAGE
Penstock / Wall Thimbles & Sluice Gates (Vanne murale)
Description: A safety device (typically a pressure vessel or a hydraulic control valve) installed on water pumping and distribution lines.
Function: Protects pipelines, valves, and pumps from destructive “water hammer” effects caused by sudden pump trips or rapid valve closure. It absorbs excess kinetic energy and pressure surges to prevent pipe bursts.
