FLYWHEEL

Centex-designed flywheels are the simplest and most effective solution to counter the effects of water hammer. This is achieved by allowing the pump to gradually coast down thus minimizing large transient pressure surges. The flywheel provides a secondary benefit of gentle starts and stops drastically improving the life of the rotating assembly and auxiliary equipment.
