What size should the buffer pool be set to

This post was last edited by siena2008 on 2011-7-27 at 10:36. I work in HVAC, and I recently have a small project that involves buffer tanks. I hope those who are knowledgeable can help me. Here’s a brief description of the process involved in this project: The water pump pumps water from the buffer tank into the heat exchanger; after exchanging heat with steam, it is sent to the end-users for heating. Once the water has been used for heating, it returns to the buffer tank, and this cycle repeats! ! Now we know that the pump’s flow rate is 1000 cubic meters per hour, and the pipe diameters for the inlet and outlet buffers are DN400! My question is: what size should the buffer pool be set to? ? Thanks to my brothers for their attention! ! ! :)
A cycle time of 30 minutes to one hour is generally considered.
Reply to 2# li*ch1968: Thank you so much for your reply! ! ! By the way, you mentioned that it would be feasible to use a water tank with a capacity of 80 cubic meters (which is equivalent to 5 minutes’ worth of buffer water) for this project. Is that correct? If a pool is used as the 30-minute buffer, a pool with a capacity of 500 cubic meters would be required; that’s too large, too heavy, and takes up too much space! ! ! !
