Bottom outlet building is located on the southwestern edge of the Rama dam. The level of the building in which the drive of the wheel gate and the control unit is installed is at an elevation of 509.54 m.a.s.l. Hydraulic power unit with piping and servo motor are installed in the building. The operating pressure in the hydraulic system is 125 bar. The servomotor is rigidly connected with a wheel gate with dimensions of 4,320×3,300 mm. Mass of the gate is 19,600 kg. The threshold of the gate is at elevation 500.89 m.a.s.l. Hydrostatic pressure on the gate under normal operating conditions is 9.3 bar (94.6 m.v.s.) and 9.5 bar (96.4 m.v.s.) at the maximum permitted accumulation elevation. The gate is built into a steel lining – reinforcement with guides. The lining is connected to a pipeline with a diameter of 4900 mm.
The bottom outlet gate serves as:
- The main closing element in case of emergency emptying of the accumulation;
- Regulating gate for controlled maintenance of water in the reservoir.
