Evaporation channel FURO 145

• Evaporation channels are used to collect and manage water without directing it to drainage in areas where this is not possible. Evaporation ensures that water does not carry pollutants.
   
• Channels are particularly suitable for areas with small water volumes where connection to drainage or oil separators is not feasible. Evaporation occurs when water is exposed to sun, heat, and wind, but the process slows in cold or humid environments without sunlight.
   
• The channel design ensures even water distribution. The principle is that a large surface area with shallow depth increases evaporation. Evaporation channels should not be jointed; our channels are manufactured in lengths up to 4 m to avoid joints. For longer runs, multiple channels are recommended.
   
• To withstand standing water with high salt content, the channels are made from acid-resistant stainless steel EN 1.4404 and the grates from stainless steel EN 1.4301. Note that the grate may still be affected by corrosion if in contact with salty water for extended periods, which can be avoided by adjusting the channel size to water volume and evaporation rate.
   
• The evaporation channel may occasionally need to be cleaned and drained. See “Instructions and recommendations” for details.
