TRASH RACKS
COANDA TRASH RACKS
The intake of a power plant is complicated and must be carefully designed before it is built. There are many considerations that need to be taken into account, not least the conditions of the watercourse in which it is to be built.
If the intake or grate is incorrectly designed, it will lead to lost production and reduced revenue. Enerquip has extensive experience in the production of gates for all types of intakes.
We also supply gratings with Coanda effect, often referred to as Fossekallen inlets.
These are inlets that can be installed where there is difficult access for operation and supervision. In order for the inlet to function optimally.
TRASH RACKS FINE GRATER
In front of the intake cone, you must install a grate/commodity gate that prevents larger objects such as branches, twigs and stones from entering the waterway, thus avoiding damage to the pipeline and the turbine. The gate also prevents any fish or animals from entering the waterway. To avoid ice problems, the grate must be placed at a sufficient depth from the water level in the intake basin.
The grate is designed and placed so that it provides the least possible fall loss and favorable inlet conditions. The light opening between the bars in the grate must be adapted to the plant and the conditions in the individual watercourse and take into account both production, uptime and organisms in the intake basin.
The screens are usually manufactured in stainless steel, but can also be supplied in untreated or hot-dip galvanized steel, PE and composite material.
