Novel modulated flow, self configuring, siphonic roof drainage system
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2014 Siphonic roof drainage systems are an efficient method of removing rainwater rapidly from roofs. Siphonic roof drainage systems are designed to run full-bore, resulting in sub-atmospheric system pressures, higher driving heads and higher system flow ...

Alternative low-cost overflows for siphonic roof drainage systems: Proof of concept
Journal of Building Engineering, 2015 This paper describes an experimental investigation of alternative overflow systems for roof structures that are drained siphonically. Many buildings that have siphonic roof drainage systems currently incorporate a separate secondary overflow system ...
