Airdrie, Canada prevents cavitation damage by using an anti-cavitation trim
Set in the foothills of Canada’s Rocky Mountains is the city of Airdrie. Without a water supply, Airdrie purchases its water from neighboring Calgary. Every night, Calgary pumps enough water to fill two reservoirs in Airdrie (a total of four million gallons).
Then Airdrie pumps water into its distribution system so the city’s 38,000 people have water throughout the day. Calgary supplies water at 5,300 gpm (335 l/s) at 60 psi (4.1 bar) to the inlet of the reservoir fill valve. Outlet pressure of the fill valve is at or close to atmospheric pressure.
