Horizontal expansion tanks type 24–150 used for storing water in water supply systems. IBO expansion vessels are designed to stabilize water pressure and increase the active volume of the water supply system. Used to work with pumps with parameters corresponding to the tank parameters. The tanks are made of thick carbon steel and covered with a special anti-corrosion varnish. Inside the tanks there are EPDM rubber diaphragms that create a membrane between the water inside and the outer shell of the tank. There is compressed air between the membrane and the tank housing, which releases water from the tank under pressure. By using tanks in hydrophore sets, you can limit the number of pump starts in a given period of time, which affects the life of the entire installation. Additionally, type 50 and type 100 tank models are available with a built-in pressure gauge. The volume of water inside is the difference between the volume of the housing and the volume of air around the membrane.
The tanks have a special valve used to pump or release air from the tank - a valve identical to the one in car wheels, located at the back of the tank, under the cover. IBO expansion vessels are pressure devices that meet the requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU.
Application
In combination with surface or deep-well pumps, they create hydrophore sets intended for supplying water from the intakes of own plots, single- and multi-family houses, farms and enterprises.
