ACU-FLO (balance Regulator) from Grande

The ACU-FLO Balance Regulator maintains a constant, accurate flow rate of water, adjusting automatically to upstream water levels. It regulates flows from 16 gpm (1 L/s) to 4,000 gpm (250 L/s), making it ideal for use in CSO, SSO, and batch plant effluent systems. The regulator’s key functional components include the pivoting radial valve, weighing basin, and regulation counterweight, all working together to ensure precise flow control.

Key Features of the ACU-FLO Balance Regulator

• Consistent Flow Rate: Maintains a precise flow rate despite fluctuations in upstream water levels.
• Automatic Self-Cleaning: Prevents blockages by automatically clearing the regulator when needed.
• Adjustable Flow Rate: Easily adjustable from fully open to fully closed using a servo-control unit.
• Low Maintenance: Lubrication-free components minimize maintenance and extend system lifespan.
• Simple Installation: Pre-calibrated and shipped with preset design flow rates, simplifying setup and eliminating the need for costly on-site calibration.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand demanding environments, with robust materials for long-term reliability.
• Remote Control Option: Can be operated locally or remotely from a central control station.

How the ACU-FLO Balance Regulator Works

The ACU-FLO Balance Regulator works by balancing water flow against a fixed counterweight. When incoming water flows increase, the weight of the water pushes the weighing basin downward, raising the counterweight. This action gradually closes the pivoting radial valve, reducing the discharge opening. The system automatically adjusts based on upstream water levels, ensuring the desired flow rate is maintained at all times.

Additionally, the ACU-FLO can be equipped with a servo-control unit to further adjust flow, and a flow monitoring device for real-time tracking. Even in the event of a power failure, the system will continue operating at the last set flow rate.
