Siphon system operation diagram

[zihadhosenjm40]

Air entering the pipe system reduces the performance of gravity drainage systems, forcing an increase in the number of risers and the diameter of pipes, so the advantage of siphon systems over others is obvious.

When the water level in the vertical riser does drop, a student data is created in the pipeline, which sucks in the remaining water on the roof of the building - this property is the main feature of siphon systems. The role of the siphon is played by horizontal pipes, laid in a special way on the roof.

To prevent water in siphon systems from freezing, they are “dressed” in good thermal insulation, or even electric heating cables are laid nearby. The costs of installing heating and electricity consumption are compensated in the future by the absence of worries about clearing pipelines of ice.

Additional rules for installing storm sewers
Specialists performing installation work on installing gutters on the roofs of buildings must take into account certain rules:

Installation of gutters

one storm drain riser serves no more than 250 m² of roof;
all elements of the sewerage system are sealed in the most careful manner;
fasteners should not “squeeze” the material of the main elements of the storm drain;
there must be inspection holes in the riser pipes for their maintenance;
The storm sewer system must be put into operation after it has been tested for operability.
Installation of sewerage systems and their maintenance are performed only by certified specialists.
