A vortex valve is a specific type of flow restrictor used to control the flow of fluids. It works on the principle of eddy currents, where the fluid is passed through a constriction, which creates a vortex. This vortex causes the flow rate to be slowed down and the flow rate to be limited. One of the advantages of using a vortex valve as a flow restrictor is that it provides precise control over the flow. The vortex allows the flow rate to be precisely adjusted to the desired value, making it suitable for applications where a constant and precise flow is required. In addition, a vortex valve is also relatively easy to install and maintain, which increases its ease of use. Another advantage of a vortex valve flow restrictor is that it offers a high resistance to contamination. Due to the construction of the valve, dirt particles are less likely to become trapped, which reduces the risk of blockages and wear. This makes the vortex valve extremely suitable for applications in environments where the fluid contains a lot of contaminants. In short, a swirl valve flow restrictor is an effective and reliable way to control the flow of fluids. With its precise control, easy installation and maintenance, and high resistance to contamination, it is a widely used instrument in various industries and applications.
Better flow control when using a vortex valve offers several advantages. First, it allows for more efficient operation of the vortex valve itself. By precisely regulating the flow rate, the valve can function optimally and deliver the desired performance. Second, it also provides optimum control over the flow rate. Users can adjust the flow rate precisely to their specific needs, giving them more flexibility in using the valve. Another advantage is that better flow control extends the life of the vortex valve. The valve is not unnecessarily stressed by too high or too low a flow rate, which reduces wear and extends its life. Furthermore, better flow control results in less pressure loss when regulating it. This means that less energy is required to control the flow rate, resulting in lower energy costs and more efficient use of resources. In short, better flow control when using a vortex valve offers numerous advantages, including more efficient operation, optimum control, longer life and less pressure loss.
A major advantage of a vortex valve and flow limiter is that no complicated installation is required. This means that no special tools are needed to install the valve. Furthermore, the vortex valve is suitable for both horizontal and vertical installation, making it flexible in use and suitable for installation in various locations. In addition, the fast and efficient installation makes it possible to have the valve operational quickly. This makes the vortex valve and flow limiter easy to install and very suitable for various applications.
The vortex valve and the flow limiter play a crucial role in rainwater management. These components ensure that rainwater is drained in an efficient and controlled manner. The vortex valve is an ingenious device that ensures an optimal water flow. It creates a vortex in the water, which distributes the pressure evenly and prevents blockages. In addition, the vortex valve is equipped with a flow limiter, which ensures that the water is drained at a certain speed. This is very important to prevent overloading the sewer system. Both components are provided with a CE mark, which indicates that they comply with the European directives on safety, health and the environment. The CE mark is, as it were, the heart of rainwater management, because it indicates that these components are reliable and safe to use.
A vortex valve is a type of control valve used to regulate the flow of fluids. It works on the principle of eddy currents, where the flow of the medium is disturbed by a specially designed internal construction. This causes the velocity of the medium to increase and vortices to form. These vortices act as a kind of obstacle to the flow, limiting the flow rate. The vortex valve can therefore serve as a flow limiter. The operation of a vortex valve can be explained on the basis of several points. First of all, there is the internal construction of the valve, which consists of a number of discs with radial slots. These slots ensure that the medium is guided into eddy currents. In addition, there is the shape of the inlet and outlet of the valve, which also contributes to the creation of these eddy currents. The flow limiting effect of a vortex valve is based on the fact that the eddy currents disturb the flow of the medium and cause turbulence. As a result, the resistance in the valve increases and the flow rate is reduced. This can be useful in situations where a constant and controlled flow is desired, such as in heating or cooling systems.
A vortex valve is a versatile device that has various applications in different industries. One of the most important applications is to control flow rate and pressure. This ensures efficient operation of the system. In addition, the vortex valve is also widely used in industrial processes, such as chemical production and oil and gas extraction. In these applications, the vortex valve can regulate the flow of fluids to create a safe and controlled working environment. Furthermore, the vortex valve is also used in water treatment systems, where it can control the flow of water. This is essential to enable the proper treatment of water and ensure its quality. Finally, vortex valves also find their application in irrigation systems, where they are used to control the flow of water. This helps in the efficient use of water resources and the optimization of irrigation processes. All in all, the vortex valve offers various advantages and possibilities in different industries and systems.
The centrifugal flow controller, type CEV, with European technology verification is manufactured for a specific capacity, typically within a capacity range of 0.2 l/s to 80 l/s (see diagram). The flow controller is used for small to moderate amounts of rainwater and certain types of industrial wastewater.
The centrifugal flow controller design provides an average water discharge/flow that is significantly higher than other simple flow control techniques. It has steeper flow control characteristics and can maximize discharge at both the 'peak' of the characteristic and the design point (h-design, Q-design). See an illustration of this in the CEV controller characteristic.
This ideal design gives the centrifugal flow controller unique properties for controlling the flow. That is why our flow controllers have the largest openings and therefore the lowest risk of clogging. In addition, the inlet is not separated by partitions or the like. The larger the opening, the smaller the risk of clogging.
During operation, the flow rate of the flow controller remains unchanged; it does not gradually decrease in size as the water level rises, as is the case with some flow control techniques.
The inlet of the flow regulator is from below. This ensures that there is a water seal and that the closing water column is as high as possible.
The CEV regulator has an adjustable inlet orifice. The inlet orifice is infinitely adjustable and can be set to ±25% of the average water discharge/flow. The adjustment interval for each individual flow regulator varies. The flow regulator is also available with a replaceable outlet baffle to further adjust the capacity.
The flow regulator is the only one on the market whose capacity can be adjusted on site without replacing components: two screws are loosened with an Allen key and the opening is adjusted. If you want to change the capacity, you can contact us. We will identify the flow regulator by its reference number and then calculate the opening setting for the new capacity.
A CEV flow controller is available with a coupling (wedge coupling) and a tie rod to facilitate easy, clean installation and disassembly from the ground. This allows inspection, service or capacity changes of the flow controller to take place under ideal hygienic and working environment conditions.
By equipping the flow regulator with a closed coupling claw at the front, the flow control options are as follows:
Often the centrifugal flow controller can be built into existing or designed chambers or tanks as it takes up very little space; however, a sump must be provided.
The CEV KPS type consists of the vortex chamber with coupling piece, a rod (to allow easy and clean installation and disassembly of the vortex valve) and a mounting plate with a wedge-shaped coupling. This allows inspection, service or changes to the flow rate of the vortex valve to take place under ideal hygienic and working conditions. The CEV KPS type is used where easy inspection/cleaning and easy access to the vortex valve is required.
Swirl valve CEV P is a fixed version of the swirl valve CEV. The CEV P type consists of the swirl chamber and the mounting plate. The CEV P type is used in places where it is desired that the swirl valve cannot be easily dismantled.
The CEV OP vortex valve is a fixed version of the vortex valve equipped with an emergency overflow
The CEV OP type consists of the vortex chamber, a drain down ø 110 (overflow and emergency drainage in one) and the mounting plate. Pipe for emergency overflow is not supplied by us. Height emergency overflow is determined by the customer.
