ACO Qmax® System

TECHNICAL DATA

ACO Q-Brake™ Flow RegulatorThe ACO Q-Brake™ is a flow regulator which can beinstalled in the ACO Qmax® channel to regulate thedischarge flow rate to a sewer or watercourse, and toutilise the storage capacity of the ACO Qmax® channel.

Advantages

� Very compact.

� Occupies no additional volume as it resides inside thechannel. No extra manholes required.

� Cost effective compared to most other solutions.

� Easy and quick to install.

� Laboratory verified performance.

� Standard regulator sizes available, custom sizes easilyaccommodated.

� 304 stainless steel construction for longevity.

� No moving parts. No loose parts to get lost.

� Silt formation and floating debris encouraged to passthrough regulator.

� By-pass facility for heavy storm applications (optional).

� Can be used in cascade form to increase ACO Qmax®‚storage volume on sloping sites.

The flow regulator is cut from 3mm thick 304 stainlesssteel plate and is conveniently sandwiched in the recessbetween any two connecting channels or channel andmanhole connector. The stainless steel constructionensures the design life will exceed a 30-year life.

ACO has conducted full-scale laboratory trials to validate the design parameters of the combined orifice and veenotch weir. Many combinations of weir and orifice geometries can be used to best optimise the performance ofthe installed ACO Q-Brake™ flow regulator for a given site.

Note: For customised flow regulation outside the standard range, contact the ACO Water Management DesignServices Team. The ACO Q-Brake™ is an additional component of the ACO Qmax® System.

TECHNICAL DATA

1.0 ACO Qmax®: Geometry and Properties Data

1.1 ACO Qmax®: Geometry and Properties Data of the MDPE liner

* In an unpolluted environment the atmospheric zinc depletion rate per 100 metres of channel run (assuming 2 microns per year) is 0.23kg / year. With a mean galvanising thickness of 70 microns, a life in excess of 30 years may be expected.

† Airport pavement, distribution centre and highway applications unless otherwise stated

†† Car park applications

1.2 Geometry and Properties of Concreted Section

* Excluding working space and formwork

** Excluding blinding concrete

1.3 Typical Channel Arrangements

* Note that by accepting a greater outlet spacing at steeper slopes then the flow velocity will tend to exceed the critical velocity
