A properly installed tank operates safely, lasts a long time, and functions as intended by the system. Errors\u2014such as missing pressure relief, leaks, or air trapped in the system\u2014can damage the system or pose a hazard. Review the following points and follow them; always take into account the instructions for each specific device and local requirements as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lifting and handling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When lifting and installing the storage tank, use appropriate and necessary lifting and handling equipment. Make sure that the lifting equipment is rated for the load and that the tank is securely fastened throughout the entire moving process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reservoir<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To compensate for pressure fluctuations, always install <strong>an expansion tank<\/strong> with a capacity of at least <strong>10\u201320%<\/strong> of the total volume of the accumulator tank, heat source, and heat transfer fluid. Without a sufficiently large expansion tank, the system cannot safely accommodate pressure fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety valve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always install <strong>a safety valve<\/strong> on the accumulator tion tank with an opening pressure equal to or lower than the pressure indicated on the tank\u2019s label. The safety valve must never be set higher than the pressure specified on the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation according to the system design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Install the storage tank in accordance with the system design and specifications. The locations and configuration of the connections must comply with the system requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Startup and control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installation and filling, do the following before putting the system into service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check for leaks<\/strong> and bleed the air from the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make sure that the pressure and temperature<\/strong> are within the safe operating range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If necessary, reduce the pressure<\/strong> by draining water from the system, and set the maximum allowable water temperature for the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Threaded connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not overtighten the threaded connection. Overtightening may damage the connection or the tank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General characteristics and local requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that the instructions above are general in nature. Always follow the instructions and requirements for each device installed in the tank, as well as the system design, operational requirements, and local standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A properly installed accumulator tank\u2014with a proper expansion vessel, safety valve, and air-free system\u2014operates safely and lasts a long time.
