The present invention relates to a water hammer recognizing and energy saving water hammer prevention system and a method for controlling the same that is configured wherein in case of the selective on/off operations of a plurality of pumps in a pipe system in accordance with the change of the use environment, the pressure variation and level variation of an air chamber caused by water hammer are compared with reference values and set values, and they are divided into a normal mode and a safe mode, thereby controlling the air intake and exhaust of the air chamber and preventing energy consumption from unnecessarily occurring.

1. A water hammer recognizing and energy saving water hammer prevention system comprising: a plurality of contact switches or a level sensor part mounted inside an air chamber so as to sense a level variation ΔH and a pressure sensor part mounted inside the air chamber so as to sense a pressure variation ΔP; anda controller adapted to compare the level variation ΔH and the pressure variation ΔP with reference values ±Hr, ±Pr and set values ±Hs, ±Ps inputted through a control panel so as to recognize the occurrence of water hammer and thus to control an air compressor and an exhaust valve in accordance with the recognized result so as to reduce the water hammer in a main pipe,wherein under the control of the selective on/off operations of a plurality of pumps so as to control the capacity of the main pipe in accordance with the change of the use environment, if the pressure variation ΔP and the level variation ΔH sent from the pressure sensor part and the level sensor part are within the ranges of the reference values ±Pr, ±Hr during set time T, a normal mode is recognized through the controller, and if the pressure variation ΔP and the level variation ΔH are within the ranges of the set values ±Ps, ±Hs during the set time T, a safe mode is recognized through the controller, so that in case of the normal mode or the safe mode, the exhaust valve and the air compressor connected to the air chamber are operated to a set state, and in case of the deviation from the safe mode, if the pressure variation ΔP is higher than the set value Ps and the water hammer is recognized by comparing pressure wave reaching time μ with the set time T, the operation of the exhaust valve or the air compressor stops to adjust the pressure and level of the air chamber. 2. The water hammer recognizing and energy saving water hammer prevention system according to claim 1, wherein if the pressure variation ΔP is higher than the set value Ps and the pressure wave reaching time μ is shorter than the set time T, the occurrence of drastic water hammer is recognized through the controller to cause an alarm signal to be generated. 3. A method for controlling a water hammer recognizing and energy saving water hammer prevention system, the method comprising the steps of: (S1) applying power to the water hammer prevention system to conduct operation standby step of the water hammer prevention system;(S2) inputting reference values Pr, Hr and set values Ps, Hs to a controller;(S3) if the pressure variation of a main pipe and an air chamber generated by the selective on/off operations of a plurality of pumps is sensed by means of a pressure sensor part, comparing the pressure variation with the reference value |Pr|, and if the pressure variation is lower than the reference value |Pr|, returning to the step just before this step;(S4) if the pressure variation of the air chamber is higher than the reference value |Pr|, comparing the pressure variation with the set value |Ps |, and if the pressure variation is lower than the set value |Ps|, returning to the step just before the step (S3);(S5) if the pressure variation of the air chamber is higher than the set value |Ps|, comparing pressure wave reaching time μ and set time T;(S6) if the pressure wave reaching time μ is shorter than the set time T, recognizing the occurrence of drastic water hammer to shut off the application of the power to an exhaust valve and an air compressor;(S7) storing the data on the water hammer;(S8) generating an alarm sound indicating the occurrence of water hammer;(S9) if the pressure wave reaching time μ is longer than the set time T, comparing the level variation of the air chamber sent from a level sensor part with the reference value |Hr|, and if it is lower than the reference value |Hr|, returning to the step just before the step (S3);(S10) if the level variation of the air chamber is higher than the reference value |Hr|, comparing the level variation with the set value |Hs|, and if it is lower than the set value |Hs|, returning to the step just before the step (S3);(S11) if the level variation of the air chamber is higher than the set value |Hs| and it is recognized as high level of fluid, operating the air compressor to inject air into the air chamber to make the level of fluid decreased, and if it is recognized as low level of fluid, opening the exhaust valve to exhaust the air in the air chamber to make the level of fluid increased; and(S12) storing the operation data on the operations of the exhaust valve and the air compressor.
