Up-surge of water hammer is a very important factor affecting the safety operation to the long distance water supply system. This article, by means of analyzing and summarizing the common solution to water hammer, offers a new style of protective way, which so-called the “hybrid tank + surge anticipating valve” . This solution, being with the extinguish advantages of both facility and equipment, can significantly eliminate of the up-surge due to the valve closing or modulating. It supposes to be a good method to ensure the safety of long distance pressurized pipeline operation.
