Typical Intake Structure Layouts

5

Hydrodynamic Zone of InfluenceHZI - The area around the intake through which intake flow is impacted.

6

Minto Fish Collection Facility Case Study

The Minto Fish Collection facility used flat panels and a gallery of air burst manifolds to maintain clean screens to aid in fish passage.

7

Intake Structure Sizing

1. How much filtration

2. Volume of flow

3. Approach & sweeping velocity

4. Head loss

The Starting Point for Sizing is the Same as Any Other Process Technology

Hydrolox Drive Mechanism and Fish Delivery

• Identical split stainless steel 13.5” diameter drive sprocket for both screen types.

• Light weight polymer material (40% less) and full width engagement enables faster response times and instantaneous screen speed changes during debris episodes.

• Hydrolox screens are designed to run 24/7.

• Positive drive system distributes load across the entire screen width; eliminates mis-tracking, uneven wear and transmits consistent torque

Review Questions

• Define approach velocity.

• Based on testing performed by Alden, what is the ratio of sweeping to slot velocity at which fish are able to sense and avoid a screen flow field.

• When sizing a Coanda accelerator, what are the interrelated variables one must account for?
