Overview of the cleaning methods
Surge flushing
Practical example I
Wastewater volume activated flushing system
Automatic flush gate (without auxiliary energy) (2)
Operational principle
The energy required for tipping the gate is generated from the sewer flow itself. Owing to the operating principle, there is no need for a special system for measurement and control, which minimize maintenance. The following illustrations depict the operational phases of the flush gate as effected by the hydrostatic pressure above (MO), and below (MU) of the rotational axis.
Phase 1
(Closing phase MO < MU)
Phase 2
(Retention phase MO < MU)
(Retention phase MO < MU)
Phase 3
(Opening phase MO > MU)
Phase 4
(Flush phase MO > MU)
(Flush phase MO > MU)
