Abstract

See full text

A storm water management system includes a flow control device that includes a float in a storage chamber responsive to changes in water level and a valve disposed between the storage chamber and a discharge. The valve includes a relatively movable valving member connected to the float and a fixed valving member. Each valving member has a through opening that receives storm water flowing between the storage chamber and the discharge. The through-openings overlap one another whereby relative displacement of the valving members caused by float movement defines a variable-sized orifice between the storage chamber and the discharge that regulates the discharge rate of storm water from the system. The shapes of the overlapping openings enable the valve to closely follow the ideal output hydrograph and maximize the discharge rate as a function of storm intensity, thereby minimizing the required volume of the storage chamber.
