Overview
A self-activating device that uses vortex technology to control
and attenuation flow in collection systems. 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 an absolute minimum. In addition, the unique
head discharge characteristics reduce storage volume requirements,
thus lowering project costs.
The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control offers cost savings on
applications ranging from CSO diversion structures and flood
control to stormwater storage facilities, treatment plants
and other stormwater management schemes for new developments.
HRD Technologies offers a variety of patented models designed
to enhance performance in the most difficult and challenging
situations. Our engineers can advise on how the Hydro-Brake®
Flow Control can be customised to meet your requirements
and provide the optimal solution for your projects.
