What is the purpose of a Hydrobrake?
The Hydro-Brake® structure allows the passage of fish and, at times of normal water levels, the movement of aquatic mammals through the surrounding concrete housing. The use of land upstream as a flood storage site also creates a rich and diverse wetland habitat.
What is a vortex flow control?
A Vortex Flow Control System is a self-activating device based on the principle of vortex hydrodynamics – it uses hydraulic effect without the need for moving parts or power to control the flow of stormwater. When the device is subjected to sufficiently high upstream water levels, a vortex is induced in the flow.
What is a vortex restrictor?
The Vortex Valve is an exceptional solution to engineers looking to precisely control the discharge flow rate from stormwater drainage, detention, and infiltration systems. This phenomenon restricts and throttles the flow through the device, creating a back pressure in the device immediately upstream of its discharge.
How does a Hydroboost brake booster work?
Hydroboost power brakes work using hydraulic fluid pressure (fed from the power steering pump) to “boost” the force on the master cylinder’s brake fluid and therefore apply more force to the brake calipers (and subsequently more force on the rotors with the brake pads).
How does a stormceptor work?
The Stormceptor system is designed to capture free oil and gross pollutants from stormwater runoff. Stormwater fl ows into the by-pass chamber via the storm drain pipe. Low fl ows are diverted into the treatment chamber by a weir and drop pipe arrangement. The treatment chamber is always full of water.
What is a hydro-brake® flow control?
The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a self-activating vortex flow control device that provides superior hydraulic performance over conventional flow regulators with patented features that reduce maintenance requirements. Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls harness the energy inherent in the flow field.
What is hydro brake optimum?
Hydro-Brake Optimum. Manage low, moderate and high flows to deliver low-impact drainage from single sites to large networks. The Hydro-Brake ® Optimum vortex flow control provides customized water quantity management for stormwater, foul or combined water across a wide range of flows and for a variety of applications.
What is pre prefabricated hydro brake?
Prefabricated. No requirement for confined space entry (during installation). Bespoke as per customer specifications. One of the easiest to install, is the Hydro-Brake® Chamber, comprises a precast reinforced concrete chamber base containing a bespoke Hydro-Brake® Flow Control Valve.
How do you install hydro brake?
Hydro-Brake One of the easiest to install, is the Hydro-Brake® Chamber, comprises a precast reinforced concrete chamber base containing a bespoke Hydro-Brake® Flow Control Valve. A range of outlet pipe sizes are also available to suit site requirements. Once lifted into position, the connecting pipework can be installed.
