HOWELL-BUNGER VALVE

Domain	Definition
Building & Civil Engineering	A valve having two telescopic cylinders with a streamline dispersing cone secured to the inner cylinder by radial webs. The apex and axis of this cone are coincidental with the centre line of the conduit and valve body, and its apex faces upstream. The outer cylinder closes the sideway opening between the cone and the inner cylinder when it is slided in position. In its open position, the water is discharged on the sides of the cylinder in the form of highly diverging nappe hollow inside, in the shape of the surface of a cone. Source: European Union.
