ACO Qmax® System
TECHNICAL DATA ACO Q-Brake™ Flow Regulator The ACO Q-Brake™ is a flow regulator which can be installed in the ACO Qmax® channel to regulate the discharge flow rate to a sewer or watercourse, and to utilise the storage capacity of the ACO Qmax® channel.
Advantages
Very compact.
Occupies no additional volume as it resides inside the channel. 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 easily accommodated.
304 stainless steel construction for longevity.
No moving parts. No loose parts to get lost.
Silt formation and floating debris encouraged to pass through 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 stainless steel plate and is conveniently sandwiched in the recess between any two connecting channels or channel and manhole connector. The stainless steel construction ensures 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 vee notch weir. Many combinations of weir and orifice geometries can be used to best optimise the performance of the installed ACO Q-Brake™ flow regulator for a given site.

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.
