Maintenance and basic knowledge of pressure tanks

Thread Content

Proper and effective maintenance of pressure tanks can extend their service life. Nanjing Jiedeng’s technical guidance will explain to you the basic principles regarding how to maintain pressure tanks. Generally, pressure tanks should be installed in areas with good ventilation, low dust levels, and low humidity. When placed outdoors, they need to be protected from rain and lightning. Although pressure tanks are not particularly prone to failure, poor maintenance can lead to oxidation and damage, thereby reducing their service life. Before starting up the machine, the water supply valve should be closed first, and the condition of all sealing valves should be checked to ensure there are no leaks. After starting the machine, attention should be paid to the rotation direction of the pump. When the pressure gauge pointer reaches the upper limit, the pump stops automatically. Turning on the water supply valve enables normal water supply; if timed water supply is required, the selector switch can be switched to the manual position. After selecting the site, it is necessary to prepare the foundation properly and construct the tank support base using poured concrete or bricks and stones. (Refer to the equipment foundation diagram) After the base has initially set, lift the tank and secure it in place, then install the accessories and connect it to the power supply. The pump unit of this equipment should be inspected regularly, maintained on a periodic basis, and lubricated. If leakage is detected in the centrifugal pump and check valve, the flange screws should be tightened promptly or the asbestos gaskets replaced. It is also necessary to ensure that the foot bolts of the pump are not loose, in order to prevent damage to the machine. The above are basic guidelines for the maintenance of pressure tanks; if there is anything you do not understand, you can seek online consultation.
