What is a hydropneumatic tank used for and how do they work?
Any organization or community that needs to store water under pressure can use hydropneumatic tanks.It is not uncommon to hear the term ASME when discussing hydropneumatic tanks.The American Society of Mechanical Engineers requires certified tanks to meet their standards.ASME standards can be used to build hydropneumatic tanks.
Water supply systems are the most common application for a hydropneumatic tank.Examples include:
An air volume control system or an air-charging system can be used to generate pressure in a hydropneumatic tank.
Air is dissolved into the water of the tank when an air volume control system is used.The water level goes up and the air pressure goes down.An air compressor pumps air into the tank to restore pressure when the water level and air pressure reach a certain point.
More common on older galvanized tanks, air charging systems add and release air into the tank mechanically without the use of sensors.The proper balance between air and water is maintained by mechanical systems.
