Liquid hammer occurs when incompressible liquid refrigerant impacts valve and compressor internal components. Liquid entering compressor cylinder will cause heavy impact and may damage valve plate and bearing assembly. Solenoid valve closing speed, pipeline layout and refrigerant charging volume affect liquid hammer intensity. Liquid accumulator installed on suction line can intercept liquid refrigerant before entering compressor. Avoid steep pipeline slope and rapid valve shutoff to reduce the chance of liquid hammer generation. Professional refrigeration factory optimizes pipeline layout to reduce liquid hammer risk during design phase. Xindacool adds liquid accumulator protection for low-temperature refrigeration systems. Repeated liquid hammer will loosen pipe joints and create hidden refrigerant leakage risk. About 29% of compressor valve plate damage accidents are induced by liquid hammer impact. Operators should avoid sudden manual cut-off of refrigerant pipeline during unit running. Suction line insulation and proper superheat setting reduce liquid refrigerant returning to compressor. Targeted design measures effectively reduce liquid hammer hazard and protect refrigeration equipment.
