SYPHONIC Rain water harvesting

Designing a Syphonic Rainwater System.

To make a syphonic rainwater system work correctly; several factors have to be considered:

  • Rainfall Intensity Rate
  • Use of specially designed roof outlets
  • Calculated method for sizing the pipework
  • Materials specification for the pipework
  • Designing the pipe configuration for optimum performance

What is the best approach to ensure all the benefits of a syphonic system are utilised?

The first thing is not to use a higher safety factor then necessary, second to consider how to deal with the occasional high rainfall rate that generally will not last for more than 2 minutes (NOT 1 HOUR).

Solutions:

  • Design the primary system to a realistic return rate, 108mm/hr has proved to work well in most locations in the UK with several 2 minute occurrences annually.
  • If a high rainfall rate is the result of calculation, deal with the excess above 108mm/hr by some other means:
  • Charge it via overflow weirs to the outside of the building
  • Install an internal gravity overflow system
  • Install a secondary syphonic system, which only operates when the water level builds up on the roof to a predetermined level.
  • Allow the water to build-up on the roof for a short period; the high intensity rate will only last for 2 minutes, following which the system will remove the excess quickly.

The Syphonic Outlet

Syphonic outlets are designed to reduce the entry of air into the system, if air reaches more than 40% of the volume of the pipe the syphonic action will stop. To reduce the amount of air entering the system a baffle plate is usually fitted over the orifice of the outlet, this not only reduces the amount of air being pulled into the outlet opening, it also stop a vortices forming that will draw air into the system rapidly. The best outlets have been tested and approved by the British Board of Agre´ment. Outlets should also be designed to easily accommodate the water membrane of the roof, which comes in many forms.
