2845. Kreuter dissipator, or Kreuter brake : An energy dissipator used for pipe flows. The water flows out of the pipe radially in the form of a disc. Hydraulic rollers formed under the disc dissipating the energy of the water to the extent that it flows quietly over the edges of the basin and safely joins the tail race. It is of two types: (i) top inlet type in which the flow from the pipe falls down on the disc and (ii) the bottom inlet type when the flow shoots upward on the disc (illustrated).
