If the tank air side pressure is too low, there will be less storage in the tank. Rock properties (porosity, permeability): definition, measurement and models. In the example we used in the last MMM, there’s a required drawdown volume of 3 gallons. Here’s a simple illustration of a hydro-pneumatic tan k in a plumbing system. DIAPHRAGM PRESSURE TANK DRAWDOWN CHARTS AIR-E-TAINER PRE-PRESSURIZED WELL SYSTEM TANKS Compact in-line tank Horizontal tank with mounting bracket Air-E-Tainer tanks will deliver drawdown equivalent to conventional tanks of this size. Hydro-pneumatic Tan k in a Plumbing System The minimum and final pressures are needed to determine the factor or multiplier we use to find the percentage of tank volume that can be drawn out and used in the plumbing system. We charge the tank air side to the minimum pressure we need in the system and then allow water to fill the tank until we reach the maximum pressure we require in the plumbing system.Īs the pressure drops in the plumbing system due to use, water leaves the tank and the pressure drops until the tank is empty and the air pressure in the tank is at its minimum. In plumbing systems, we can’t start at maximum pressures and we can’t allow pressures to drop to zero, so there are limits. The acceptance volume of a tank is the maximum water volume that the tank can hold if it starts with 0 PSIG on the air side (theoretically) and ends with the air side compressed to the maximum pressure that the tank could stand (theoretically). Drawdown Volume: This is the volume of water which leaves the tank from a starting tank pressure down to the minimum pressure.Acceptance Factor: Sometimes rather than show the acceptance volume, the literature will show a multiplier against tank volume to arrive at the acceptance volume.Acceptance Volume: This is the maximum amount of water volume of the tank.Tank Volume: This is the total volume of the tank including air and water.From Xylem – B&G literature A348A Understanding Acceptance Volume and Tank Volume
