One of the most important characteristics of hydraulic accumulators is its volume. There are many options on the market, from models up to 20 liters to those with a capacity in excess of 1000 liters. But, the following models are most popular on the market:
- 24 liters;
- 50;
- 60;
- 80 liters.
A 100-liter hydraulic accumulator is also popular - this capacity is optimal for an average family.
In general, there are several formulas that can be used to calculate the volume of a hydraulic accumulator. However, there are certain statistics on the use of these devices. Based on it, you can also make the right choice.
Moreover, you still have to buy a tank of standard volume. For example, hydraulic accumulators 80 liters or 100 liters.
Basic selection rules:
- capacity up to 24 liters - used when the pump power for the well is within 2 m3 / hour, and the number of consumers does not exceed 3 points. Those. this volume is suitable for small country houses in which 1-2 people live;
- volume of 50 liters - will be needed with a pump power of up to 3.5 cubic meters per hour. At the same time, the allowable number of points of water consumption increases to 7-8 pieces. Such hydraulic tanks are suitable for a water supply system that provides 2-3 people permanently residing in the same house;
- if the pump has a capacity of more than 5 cubic meters, and the number of consumers in the house is more than 8, then a tank with a capacity of 100 liters or more is taken.
When calculating the volume of a hydraulic accumulator, it is important to understand that its main task is not to create a storage supply of drinking water. Thus, you do not need to make a large margin by volume. Usually, 10-15% is enough, needed in case of an unexpected increase in water consumption.
Usually, 10-15% is enough, needed in case of an unexpected increase in water consumption.
In addition, the following rules must be taken into account:
- when selecting a container, the total number of points of their simultaneous water consumption is considered;
- for example, the value turned out to be about 30 liters;
- you need to know that water occupies about half of the volume of the hydraulic tank.
Do you need a spare capacity?
Many people believe that one of the functions of a battery is to store water. However, this is not the case and the functions of the device are completely different. Of course, a small margin of capacity is needed - there are times when water consumption may increase. In addition, a slightly increased volume will positively affect the operation of all equipment.
