El cierre brusco de una tubería, al cortar la corriente, provoca un aumento instantáneo de la presión del agua. Esta zona de presión se propaga [...] con la velocidad del sonido [...] en la tubería y puede hacerla estallar si tiene alguna junta o punto de menor resistencia. Este fenómeno, llamado golpe de ariete, reviste mucha importancia en las obras hidráulicas, especialmente en las presas hidroeléctricas. Las canalizaciones de estas obras comunican, por unos pozos o chimeneas de equilibrio, con un depósito de agua: como éste tiene su nivel al aire libre, puede absorber todo aumento brusco de la presión en las tuberías. 3, record 1, Spanish, - chimenea%20de%20equilibrio
