VORTEX

INHIBITOR

Description
EMACO vortex inhibitor is a specialized pipe fitting used to prevent initiation of vortices within fire suction tank and air entrap into
suction pipe. This vortex inhibitor is fitted with the port of suction pump pipe inlet to reduce vortices inside tank and ensure the suction
pump working at its maximum efficiency, greatly minimizing the air entrainment to cause cavitation. This allows the maximum possible
drawdown of the liquid’s surface level and ensures the largest flow rate transmission.

Features
Compact design.
Lightweight and robust construction.
Reliable performance with no maintenance required
Suitable for suction lift or positive head condition
Prevent air entrainment, forming of vortex and air entry to pump
Improve pump efficiency and prevent potential damage
Maximize tank’s effective water storage capacity
Cost savings – Option for tank to be sized smaller
Made from Galvanised Mild Steel or Stainless steel
Flange connection to BS 10 Table E

Application
EMACO vortex inhibitor is widely used to chemical engineering, energy resource, and hydraulic engineering, especially employed in fire
suction tanks. When put to use, where tanks are designed to deliver large, fast-flowing volumes of water, the vortex inhibitors play a vital
role by preventing initiation of vortices within a tank and air being drawn into a system, which ultimately has the undesirable effect of
reducing the flow rate. This allows full usage of net capacity, improving availability of (fire) tanks and reducing dead water area, to provide
energy savings.

Installation

Dimension size: DN 50-DN300 (existing product, available in a range of sizes as per certain request)
Installation ways: either positive head (suction water tank) or upside down (elevated water tank)
Installation requirement: The rim of vortex inhibitor shall keep at least 0.3d distance from the tank shell.
D is referred to as nominal diameter of pump suction pipe
Performance requirement: The minimum water level 100 is allowed to fall during pump suction, and there shall not have vortex
occur on the water surface.
