RainPulse Breakdown
The "patent pending" system can be broken down into 3 main elements - the rainwater is collected in the gutter which then disperses down the outlet and finally is taken away in the downpipe.
1) The Gutter
CGL Systems have been manufacturing membrane lined gutters since 1981 and and we have supplied more than 1000 miles of gutter over this period. The success of the gutter has established the product as the market leader - we will be promoting our membrane lined gutter as our standard within the RainPulse System. The gutters can be single skin or insulated and be designed to achieve various 'U' values. Other gutter systems can be made specifically to suit the client / project requirements.
2) The Outlet
The RainPulse outlet is specially designed to maximise the efficiency of discharging rainwater from the gutter into the downpipe. The outlet design also allows the elimination of a vortex which eliminates the pipes filling up with air instead of water. The outlets efficiency has been tested and its capabilities are incorporated into our design software that allows CGL to design the relevant amount of outlets and pipes to suit each project. The outlets have been tested at the University of Sheffield to BS-EN 1253-2;2003 and complies with BS EN 12056-3 2000.
3) The Downpipes
There is a choice of downpipes depending on the project needs. For plastic we can provide an HDPE BBA Approved pipe system - the HDPE pipe is required to accommodate the flow and pressure of water in comparison to standard plastic pipe systems which do not comply with the necessary efficiencies or specification. We also offer aluminium downpipes which can be supplied in mill finish or a PPC finish. All pipes are specifically designed to suit the project requirements.
