Turnkey gas tank: how to install a gas tank and install equipment

What is a gas holder?

The technical classification of a household gas tank device defines it as a liquefied gas storage device. Thus, a household gas tank is a vessel designed for filling and storing liquefied gas.

Of course, for such purposes, a tank is used that meets the requirements for such installations. In addition, gas holders for liquefied gas are equipped with a full set of automatic means to ensure safety during the operation of hazardous vessels.

This is how one of the possible modifications of a household gas tank looks like - a tank for liquefied gas, widely used by private households as a source of cheap energy

From here, an explanation suggests itself: workers and employees of special organizations are called upon to install, put into operation and carry out periodic control of the gas tank. This is roughly comparable to the case of everyday life when a gas boiler or gas water heater is installed in the house.

Well, in addition to the reference: gas tanks are usually refueled with a liquefied mixture of propane-butane. These are low molecular weight hydrocarbons, a characteristic feature of which is an easy transition from a liquid state to a gaseous state. The frequency of the gas tank filling process, as a rule, is not more than 1-2 times during the calendar year.

We also recommend reading the article, in which we figured out in detail the issue of the cost of installing a gas tank on the site. More details - read on.

Why autonomous gasification is needed

It's hard to get by without gas. This is the most economical and convenient way to heat a country house. Alas, there are many places in the Moscow region where natural gas is not available. The best alternative to natural gas is liquefied propane-butane gas, which does not need a centralized gas pipeline network.

The AvtonomGaz company will install an underground gas tank on the site near a country house, cottage or summer house - the so-called gas tank. This process is called “offline gasification” and takes only a few hours.

The gas tank is located underground at a distance of five to ten meters from the house. It does not take up space on the site - if desired, herbaceous plants and even shrubs can be planted above it.

Inside fits several thousand liters of propane-butane. This volume is enough to heat the house for several months. When the gas runs out, the gas carrier AvtonomGaz will replenish the tank.During refueling, a specialist will inspect the gas tank free of charge and carry out the necessary maintenance.

Requirements for the installation of a gas tank

An autonomous gas storage facility, like a gas pipeline, is a construction of an increased degree of danger, therefore, a number of requirements are imposed on the installation and connection of gas equipment.

They are set out in regulatory documents: for example, in PB 03-576-03 you can find out about the conditions for installing pressure vessels, and in SP 62.13330.201 - about the general provisions for the construction of gas distribution systems.

Similar requirements apply to the gas pipeline through which fuel flows from the tank to the building:

• depth of trenches for polyethylene (steel are used extremely rarely) pipes - at least 1.7 m;
• mandatory installation of a condensate collector;
• slope of the pipe to the condensate collector - 1 cm per 1 m;
• pipes are connected in an integral way;
• distance to parallel pipelines - at least 1 m.

When backfilling trenches, the gas pipeline laying area is marked with a wide signal tape, which is stretched along the entire length of the pipe and sprinkled with soil.

How to choose a gas tank for a private house

The choice is not easy, especially since the price of the issue bites. Before ordering a gas tank, it is recommended to contact the specialists and agree on the main criteria for the upcoming purchase

This is important, otherwise a lot of trouble and unnecessary waste of nerves and free time arise with the return of products. It is important to agree with the tank installers what is needed, which item from the catalog to give preference to.

It is important to know the following selection conditions:

1. Determine the area of ​​a private house and calculate the required volume of gas tanks for the entire heating season.
2. Conditionally outline the territory of a private house, where the specified structure will be installed in the future.
3. To install, use the help of professionals, otherwise, in inept hands, a private house will “take off into the air”.

Variants of the contract with the contractor

If the owner of the house is interested in installing a turnkey gas tank, then he will have to choose from several options that differ in nuances. To expand the circle of customers, companies offer 3-4 solutions. Usually they are called "Economy", "Standard", "Optima", "Premium", "Lux" and similar names.

One of the options for installing a turnkey gas tank for a house up to 150 m². The main package includes design, the tank itself with fittings, transportation, installation, connection, commissioning and commissioning. Excavation work and gas refueling are additionally paid

The choice is good because you can choose the best package, saving on the same earthworks or concluding a contract for gas supply with another organization.

What is a gas tank: general information

Gas tank - a container designed for long-term natural gas storage or other gaseous substances (biogas, liquefied petroleum gas, air, etc.), but for heating purposes, the tanks are filled with liquefied propane-butane. Gas holders are used both on an industrial scale and for private use.

This autonomous system is a large reservoir for storing gas reserves, which makes it possible not to depend on the state and independently regulate the amount of utility payments for gas supply. By refilling the container once or twice a year, depending on the volume of the tank, you can safely use the gas stove for cooking and heating the house.

By volume, gas tanks are different - from 2500 to 20,000 liters, small containers are used for mobile gas tanks. Since these are devices that require increased attention, it is mandatory to install protective automation that monitors the gas pressure inside the tank, controls the distribution and amount of fuel, and is also responsible for the safety of the autonomous system. A gas tank, the photo of which is shown below, can provide gas to a large private house.

What is a gas holder?

The easiest and most economical way to heat a country house is far from electricity, but the most common gas. But connecting directly to a centralized supply system for this type of fuel is far not possible everywhereand sometimes it costs a lot of money. The timing of connection to such networks can sometimes be quite long, they depend on the remoteness of the highways, as well as on the complexity of the terrain where the house itself is located. Also, do not forget about the execution of a number of documents - our bureaucracy is flourishing. Sometimes, just because of the need to draw up the necessary papers, you have to wait for years for the gas to enter the house.

Gas holder for a private house

In this case, it is easiest to think about the possibility of autonomous gasification.One of the elements of such a system is a gas tank, which will allow you to have gas on your site without connecting to centralized systems and without serious red tape, and will also make it possible to always have gas in the house.

Liquefied gas from a gas tank is used for home heating, water heating

A gas holder is a fairly capacious metal container designed to store gaseous substances, mainly (in domestic terms) to save a mixture of butane and propane, that is, the same gas that is used to operate stoves and heating systems in the house. You can call a gas tank a large gas cylinder, from which it differs only in very large sizes and is installed once, regularly performing its task for many years. This "cylinder" does not even need to be taken to a gas station - it is enough to call a special tanker who will come and fill the tank with gaseous fuel.

The principle of operation of a gas tank in a private house

The gas tank is usually made of high-quality steel with a thickness of at least 5.5 mm (this figure is taken from GOST), treated with special compounds that prevent corrosion. Thus, the tank will serve for a very long time, about 20 years. Also, the gas tank has special sensors that will show how much gas it has at the moment, what is the pressure in the cylinder. The equipment has a filling valve, a tank filling sensor and valves for connection distribution of gas. Thanks to a well-thought-out system, the gas tank is completely safe for home use.

The gas tank is completely safe for home use.

The gas tank is always located outside the residential building, at a certain distance from it.Gas enters the house through the laid pipelines, where it is spent on the operation of a heating boiler, gas stove, etc. Usually, a gas tank is buried underground and does not even take up space on the site. It is capable of containing several thousand liters of gas liquefied under pressure of 6 atmospheres.

VPS gas tanks dimensions

Mini gas holders

To reduce the service area of ​​such an installation, mini-gas tanks were specially developed, which have slightly different dimensions, but are in no way inferior to their “competitors” in terms of functionality, serviceability, and service life. Such a structure is appropriate for small household plots. You can buy a gas tank for a summer residence inexpensively, and if necessary, sell it - the demand does not decrease. Here is a list of favorites:

• model name - CITI GAS 2700 (Bulgaria);
• price - 150,000-220,000 rubles;
• characteristics - horizontal design, operating temperature varies from -40 to + 40ºС, epoxy layer, protection against metal damage;
• pluses - compact, convenient in everyday use, ideal for small personal plots of a private house;
• cons - none.

Here is the second modern gas tank for a compact house, no less efficient, reliable and in demand among the masses:

• model name - GT7 RPG-6.5 (Russia);
• price - 200,000 rubles;
• characteristics - 6.5 cubic meters, tank material - steel, quality assurance - up to 30 years;
• pluses - remote location, main networks, the presence of a pressure regulator, compact dimensions;
• cons - none.

The third model of mini-gas tanks belongs to the same brand, but has distinctive parameters:

• model name - GT7 RPG-3 (Russia);
• price - 145,000 rubles;
• characteristics - volume - 3 cubes, vessel material - steel, quality assurance from the manufacturer, service life - up to 30 years;
• pluses - reliable and high-quality products for a private house from a domestic manufacturer, compact dimensions;
• cons - high price.

What kind of gas tank do I need?

The autonomous gas supply system of the house should be balanced in terms of the main parameters: the total heated area of ​​the house, taking into account the quality of its insulation and heat loss, the one-time gas demand from all sources of its consumption (gas boiler, gas stove, gas generator), the desired frequency of refueling the gas tank (once a week, once a month, once a year). Therefore, when purchasing a gas tank to provide the house with autonomous gas heating, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house, the total volume of liquefied gas consumed by all sources of gas equipment, and the frequency of filling the gas tank with gas. Also, when choosing a gas tank, do not forget about its operating conditions (only in summer or all year round), the method of placement (underground or ground). Knowing these initial data, you can choose the volume and type of gas tank you need.

Volume of gas tank (liters)	Total capacity of gas consumers (kW)	Recom. at home up to (m.2)
800-1500	10-15	150
2500-3000	20-30	200
3500-5000	35-50	500
6000-7000	60-70	650
8000-10000	70-90	750
12000-20000	100-140	1400

Design and documentation

A “personal” gas system must be as reliable and safe as a centralized main. Carelessness in these matters is unacceptable, since even a small gas leak can cause huge problems up to and even lead to death.

If the owner of the house does not have special knowledge, then the design of the gas pipeline must be entrusted to a specialist with a license.

The installation location of a ground or underground gas tank is determined not only by convenience, but also by the distance for individual objects on the site (+)

Rather, this is done by entire design organizations that have the right to design and carry out work on the gasification of residential facilities.

It can be either a private company or a specialized subdivision of the gas service of a district, region, etc. Private traders charge a little more for work than state specialists, but they will also take care of the design.

When working with regional gas, the owner of the house will have to deal with the design on his own, but you can save a little.

When drawing up a project, you will not only have to draw up a couple of statements, but also attach a number of documents to them:

• owner's passport;
• certificate of ownership of the land;
• site plan;
• characteristics of the heating system, etc.

First, specialists develop technical specifications for the gasification of a building, which take into account fire safety requirements. Then, field studies are carried out, and a place is selected for the installation of a gas tank, taking into account the standards.

The gas tank must be located at a distance of:

• at least 10 m from residential buildings;
• at least 15 m from sources of drinking water and other water bodies;
• at least 5 m from trees and outbuildings;
• at least 2 m from fences.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the presence of power lines near the installation site of the gas tank. The minimum distance to such structures should be half the height of the support. Another important point is the availability of convenient access roads for a car with a liquefied gas tank to fill the gas tank.

At the design stage, the features of the site are also evaluated: the corrosivity of the soil, the level of stray currents, etc.

Based on these data, a decision will be made on the features of the gas tank, for example, whether it needs additional galvanic protection, which will not affect the price of the device for the better.

Ground models of gas tanks are usually used only in the summer. Such tanks are subject to higher safety requirements than for underground counterparts.

Thus, the technical conditions for the gasification of the facility are determined. With their help, specialists will draw up a project that includes a number of documents: characteristics of a gas tank, evaporator, condenser, site plan, gas pipeline system layout, recommendations for grounding, chemical protection, lightning protection, etc.

These documents must be coordinated with the fire inspectorate, gas supply services, electricians, architects, environmentalists and other specialists of local departments. The result of the registration will be obtaining a building permit.
