KWT®Siphon unit type: KHU

Application

The KWT automatic siphons are mainly be used in surface water systems but some may also be used in purification applications. 
They are an ideal way of moving large volumes of water quickly, in most cases without the use of electricity.

Various methods of control can be used to ensure that the siphon unit can be adjusted invariably to ensure the best level control. We use three different control types:
1. Natural siphon on weir.
The siphon unit is suspended over a fixed (existing) weir set at the desired cut-off height. A mechanical control system ensures that it is switched on and off.
2. Vacuum pump.
The siphon unit is suspended over a water-retaining wall (without breaking this wall). The siphon can now be triggered manually or automatically using a vacuum pump (electrics are required).
3. Venturi system.
A venturi system developed by KWT (does not require electrics) can be used to automatically control flows. A trickle flow from the high to the low side is connected to a venturi linked to the siphon. A vacuum is created in the siphon after which water transfer takes place.  

All 3 controls can be operated locally, however using a vacuum pump the siphon can also be controlled remotely.
