Hydro-Brake Flow Control

Hydro-Brake Flow Controls can be used wherever there is a need to limit the rate of forward flow of surface water within a drainage system.

Typical applications include:

• Stormwater source control/SUDS schemes
• Traditional attenuation/storage
• Energy dissipation/velocity control

How does it work?
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. They have no moving parts and no external energy requirements. With clear openings up to 600% larger than conventional flow control devices, the risk of blockage is reduced to a minimum. In addition, the unique head/discharge characteristics with high flush and kick-back flow points, reduce storage volume requirements, lowering project costs.

Advantages

• No moving parts.
• No power requirements.
• Self-activating and self-cleansing.
• Reduces first flush impact on CSO screens.
• Reduces upstream storage volume requirements.
• Highest performing passive flow control available.
• Full access for rodding and jetting.
• Simple installation.
• BBA applied for.
