Tich "Tichflow" siphon drainage system
A. The siphonic drainage system
a) The principle of siphonic system
In accordance with the principle of pressure pipe siphon full flow design, by using "Bernoulli equation", with careful calculation, the siphonic drainage system of roof uses specially designed rain water buckets. With the buckets and the potential energy formed by the height between building roof and floor, rain gutters and forms full pipe flow state in the pipe,which forms partial vacuum in the pipeline. The rain water and water pressure level to obtain additional pipe produced to a siphonic phenomenon. The siphon effect greatly accelerates the water flow in the drainage pipe and quickly clears rainwater on the roof. This system is composed of a siphonic type rainwater buckets, pipes (rainwater hopper branch hanging tube, horizontal tube, vertical tube and out tube), pipe fittings, fixed systems, etc.
b) The difference between the siphonic drainage system and the gravity drainage system


The gravity drainage system:
The principle of gravity flow drainage way is the use of roofing structure based on natural water flows into the slope, and water flowed into the rain bucket easily permeates into the air, forming a gas-water mixture flow. Calculations rely on the manual count hydraulic system, pipe diameter calculation amplifier. At the same time as the roof drainage itself has a certain slope and the roof structure limites, effective drainage need increase rainwater hoppers and the corresponding vertical drainage pipes. These massive vertical pipes finally collect into the rainwater pipe network of the city .
The siphonic drainage system
At the beginning, the siphonic drainage system works the same with the gravity drainage . Differently, when the water level on the roof gets a certain height, siphonic rain water bucket automatically cut off the air from going into the water bucket, which produces siphonic effect, increasing the volume of drainage. For the siphonic roof rainwater drainage system, leakage problem must be prevented when burying buckets. Because if leaks, severe damage to expensive construction, even endanger personal safety may be caused. Therefore, for the siphonic roof rainwater drainage system, calculation of hydraulic system, choice of products, design of the siphon rain water buckets’ layout, and the overall system installation, must have a high quality assurance.

c) Advantages of the siphonic drainage system

B.The siphonic drainage component of siphon rain water bucket
a) Tichflow ® siphonic rain water bucket:

Siphonic type rainwater bucket is the beginning of roof rainwater drainage system, but also the core of the whole system, and the main purpose is to collect rain and leading the rain into the system. Siphonic rain water bucket before the maximum depth should be strictly controlled, to ensure the roof surface is defined in the reasonable height below, otherwise the roof rainwater accumulation of heavy will cause the roof structure damage, and even severe personal or property loss. The Tich Company provides tichflow ® siphonic rain water bucket with excellence quality reflected completely stable and controllable in the bucket depth, fully in line with the "siphonic rainwater drainage system technology regulations" requirements.

b) Advantages of Tichflow ® siphonic rain water bucket:
The bucket body is made of high quality 304 stainless steel, greatly prolongs the service life
The rainwater hopper tail pipe diameter can be adjusted, so as to meet the different discharge requirements
Water inlet part arranged anticyclone rectifier grid unique strengthens the siphon effect
Installation is suitable for various types of roof
Bucket depth before the super low ensures the building’s economical cost and safe use.

c) The rainwater hopper maintenance:
Daily cleaning
Siphonic type rainwater bucket needs regular maintenance.The specific job is to remove the roof of leaves, trash or heterozygous plants to avoid clogging drains. The maintenance cycle should be based on the specific circumstances of local (heaven and earth, green etc.) and, in addition, maintenance work should also include the clean water outlet and grille.
Open bars in the maintenance, and then clean rain bucket’s internal parts. The maintenance frequency accords to the Standard maintenance.

C.The siphonic drainage system component of the ---- pipeline system

a) The HDPE piping system
High density polyethylene pipe, an environmental protection type drainage pipeline with a remarkable performance, has become a roof drainage pipeline and the building of wastewater discharge pipeline material of choice in the European countries. The "system of roof rainwater drainage procedures siphon type CECS183:2005" has also been listed it as one of the main references. Its unique properties is mainly reflected as following:
       Easy installation, can be prefabricated
       Anti corrosion
       Impact resistant, resistant to high pressure
       Abrasion resistance
In addition, the HDPE pipeline is a kind of environmentally friendly non-toxic material model. In the face of fire, the high density polyethylene pipe does not release toxic gases as other halogen containing pipes . In accordance with the standard provisions of GJB1916-94, by testing the drain pipe fittings with high density polyethylene offered by Kaishi Li company , combustion toxicity index values were less than 1, which proves to be ecological and environmental.
The special performance of HDPE pipes:


Tichflow ® HDPE high density polyethylene pipe made of with PE100 grade raw material provided by Tich Company,can resists ultraviolet, excellent aging resistance, impact resistance.

       The linear expansion coefficient of 0.2mm/m ℃ within the pipe, expansion caused by temperature change rate in the range of 1%;
      Siphon system without setting expansion joint, to avoid system leakage. Our company according to the linear expansion coefficient, temperature should be design factors and the strength of pipe and other developed suspension device to eliminate the expansion caused by temperature difference.
The environmental protection performance of HDPE pipeline

Polyethylene (PE) is composed of carbon, hydrogen atom combination of simple and is harmless to human, animal, plants.
Polyethylene’s (PE’s) production and the process is related to the environmental burden. In addition to raw materials and crude oil, energy is also needed for the production process of producing plastic particles and products.
From the angle of ecology, polyethylene (PE) material is the most suitable material for a pipe system . It has long service life and the process does not produce toxic gas incineration (e.g., PVC material produced by hydrochloric acid). In production and transportation process, it consumes less energy than steel pipe, cast iron pipe and copper pipe.
b) Stainless steel piping system


Stainless steel piping system is the large construction recommended products, in order to meet the architectural requirements, we recommend the use of thin wall stainless steel pipe wall thickness, the apparent diameter of different thickness in the 1.5-4MM range, can reduce the load and reduce the cost of.

D.Siphonic drainage system, suspension fixation system
a) Fixed clamp and the sliding clamp device


Different from the traditional method with fixed expansion joint, the fixing system uses the fixed clamp and the sliding clamp to fix the pipes in parallel with the square steel rails, with no expansion joint.

Fixed clamp limits heat expansion and cold contraction expansion of the pipe, and transfer the axial thrust to the rail.
The use of the sliding clamp makes the pipe slide freely in the pipe clamp, and it’s used to adjust the pipe between the expansion difference caused by uneven shrinkage.


b) Suspension pipe installation steps
       The first step: in accordance with the siphon system on line in the building to determine the point of suspension
       The second step: install and sling threaded rod installed on buildings
