Mosbaek Flow Control Valves Supported by HydroCAD
HydroCAD-10 provides direct support for modeling of vortex control valves manufactured by Mosbaek,
including the CYE and CVE products.
Note: Users of HydroCAD 9.1 and earlier should obtain a program update in order to get the complete library of Mosbaek chamber definitions. Earlier versions do not include support for CVE valves. HydroCAD-10 will also convert the rating curves to the appropriate units setting (English or metric) for the current project.
Since Vortex valves have a unique "S" shaped stage-discharge curve which
cannot be modeled with the traditional orifice equation, HydroCAD Software
Solutions LLC has worked together with engineers at Mosbaek to
produce a library of rating curves that allows these devices to be easily modeled
in HydroCAD. This allows designers to evaluate the benefits of using
vortex valves in their stormwater management systems, which can often reduce the
amount of storage that must be built in order to meet peak-discharge
requirements for a given pond.
Mosbaek vortex flow regulators provide a number of benefits over conventional orifices, including:
 | Large outlet openings – dramatically reduces potential for clogging |
| Optimized discharge for the full range of storm events - reduces detention storage requirement |
| Self-cleaning action flushes out accumulated sediments – reducing maintenance frequency |
| No moving parts – nothing for debris to catch on to or foul |
| Self activating - no power requirements |
