SIPHONIC RAINWATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
Siphonic system is intended to discharge the water from a drain or roof without a slope, using the equation of fluid dynamics. Such complicated hydraulic conditions are calculated using the Bernoulli’s flow equation. System requires the use of pipes in different diameters in order to equalize pressure differences and flow rate. It is important to reduce the losses in using such different materials.
Siphonic system calculations are carried out, using 5-minute rainfall intensity experienced for 5 minutes in the last 100 years based on the meteorological reports on Maximum Rainfall Intensity at Standard Times. Most important and initial point in designing a siphonic system is filters.
Why does MCC İnşaat prefer siphonic rainwater drainage systems?
- Pipes with smaller diameters,
- Pipe and equipment occupying smaller place,
- Less underground piping and accordingly less workmanship and material use.,
- No risk for debris thanks to the self-cleaning feature during operation with the effect of high flow rate
- Controlling the motions caused by the expansion of the pipes through the special hanging systems and therefore more reliable installation characteristics
