Sluice gate Q-Brake Vortex

Controlling the release of stormwater ACO Q-Brake Vortex is a horizontal vortex flow control designed to prevent downstream flooding by controlling the release of stormwater before it discharges into the watercourse or sewer. Available as a model in Microdrainage, Site3D and Causeway Flow Hydraulic Design software, it has many water authority approvals. Custom built to suit the site requirements Available from 2-100 l/s and up to 3m design head Manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel All parts welded to BS 4872 Available with curved or flat back Attenuation volume required reduced Larger clear opening, than traditional orifice plates, reduces risk of blockage Parameters to quote Each ACO Q-Brake Vortex and ACO Q-Chamber is individually configured to suit the specific performance criteria and the profile of the chamber. ACO Q-Brake: design head (m) & flow rate (l/s) ACO Q-Chamber: depth to invert / diameter of the chamber / number of pipe connections / diameters of pipe connections ACO Q-Chamber is a new durable bespoke prefabricated chamber designed to house ACO Q-Brake, as well as ACO Q-Plate. It combines easy-handling and simple installation with a fully-welded plastic, durable construction. Key Benefits include: Easy transportation and installation Minimise working time in a confined space All plastic interfaces fully welded, watertight and spark tested Features Addresses planning and connection requirement of Floods and Water Management Act Tailored performance provides optimum hydraulic efficiency Reduces the need for on-site storage lowering installation costs Available with a curved back for ease of installation Simplifies access and maintenance
