This report contains the description and the result of the dynamic simulation model that has been developed to predic the behaviour of one of our lift check valve design. The aim of the model is not only to simulate the clossing process of the valve and to predict the magnitude of the watter hammer effect that may appear immediately after the valve closing, but also to simulate several design versions until obtain the optimum which further minimizes such effect. The input data udes for this study ensure reliable results since they represent a real system.
