0123 Control Vortex Valve UFT-FluidTriode
Intended Purpose
At flood control reservoirs, a limitation to large discharges at moderate to great water depths is required. A Control Vortex Valve has two operating states: At low water levels, the water passes through the valve in a straight path without any significant pressure loss. However, if the water level exceeds the height of the control nozzle inlet, water flows in there. The tangential impulse creates a vortex flow in the vortex chamber, which drastically increases the flow resistance of the valve and thus reduces the overall outflow to a nearly constant desired value.
