Manufacturer of Air Shield Dams Introduces Main Application Fields of Pneumatic Shield Gates

发布时间:2021-04-01 点击量:3627
Pneumatic shield gates are a new type of hydraulic structure that combines the advantages of rubber dams and steel plate dams. Manufacturers of air shield dams introduce its main application fields as follows.

I.Power Generation

It maintains a high water level upstream to improve the power generation capacity of hydropower stations. The normal water depth over the top of conventional sluice gates ranges from 0.3 to 0.6 meters. This type of gate can create a higher water head and precisely regulate the upstream water level. It releases floodwater during flood seasons and rises to retain water afterwards. In addition, a stable ice cover will form on the upstream surface in winter, preventing ice jams from blocking the water intake of power stations.

II.Water Storage and Urban Landscape

1.Pneumatic gates effectively balance the flood discharge capacity of spillways and the water storage level of reservoirs, increasing the water storage capacity of existing reservoirs. They also help avoid policy and financial difficulties caused by expanded water storage, such as land inundation.

2.For spillways with insufficient discharge capacity, this kind of gate can raise the weir crest elevation without affecting the reservoir water level and power generation efficiency.

3.Landscape lights can be installed on the gates to create beautiful night scenes in urban areas.

III. Navigation

  1. Pneumatic gates produced by air shield dam manufacturers are an ideal choice for upstream and downstream gates of ship locks, which can precisely control the water levels on both sides.

  2. When the dam is lowered, the steel plate covers the rubber air bag to guarantee smooth passage of ships.

  3. It eliminates complex gate opening and closing systems and features flexible and simple operation.

  4. It reduces the construction and maintenance costs of ship locks.

IV. Irrigation

  1. It can accurately control the water level and diversion flow of irrigation channels.

  2. When the flow rate of the channel changes, it automatically stabilizes the water level in front of water diversion structures and ensures uniform water distribution.

V.Water Diversion and Flood Diversion

  1. It can be used for river flood diversion to realize automatic flow regulation.

  2. During flood seasons, it automatically maintains a low upstream water level and flushes away the sediment deposited upstream with floodwater.

VI.Application in Cold Regions

  1. This type of gate has been successfully applied in cold regions.

  2. Since the steel panel is supported by independent rubber air bags, ice floes and floating debris are allowed to pass through.

VII.Protection for Roads and Garages

  1. This gate system can be installed at entrances of garages and subways to prevent rainstorm floods from pouring in.

  2. It can also be mounted on gaps of flood dikes and closed immediately once floods arrive.

The above are the main application fields of pneumatic shield gates. Have you learned all the content introduced by the air shield dam manufacturers?
