Combined Balance Tank
Three Solutions in One Product: Hydraulic Balance, Air and Sediment Control in Your System with the Combined Balance Tank
In heating and cooling systems, constant fluctuations between supply and demand can lead to hydraulic imbalances. This can lead to undesirable heat output and overload pumps. Furthermore, air and sediment accumulation in the system reduces efficiency and shortens equipment life. ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc. offers an innovative solution to these problems: the combined surge tank. This multifunctional device optimizes system performance by combining the functions of a hydraulic surge tank, air separator, and sediment trap in a single unit.
What is a Combined Balance Tank and How Does It Work?
A combined surge tank is a piece of equipment installed between the primary (boiler/cooler side) and secondary (consumption side) circuits of heating and cooling systems. It essentially serves three main functions:
- Hydraulic Balancing: This balance between the primary and secondary circuits helps ensure the correct amount of energy is delivered to different heating/cooling zones. This eliminates pump inconsistencies in the system and saves energy.
- Air Separation: Effectively separates the air circulating in the system, preventing airborne noise, corrosion, and pump cavitation. Its special internal structure collects air bubbles and expels them through a purge valve at the top.
- Sludge Retention: This system removes sediment, sludge, and other particles, keeping heat transfer surfaces clean. This maintains the efficiency of heat exchangers and other equipment and prevents blockages. A drain valve at the bottom allows for easy drainage of accumulated sediment.
Advantages of the Combined Balance Tank:
The combined balance tank offered by ORFA Industrial Products offers many advantages to businesses:
- Cost Savings: Using a single combined unit instead of three separate devices reduces purchasing costs.
- Labor Savings: Installing a single device requires less labor than installing three separate devices.
- Space Saving: Since separate volumes for the air separator and dirt trap are not required, more space remains in the boiler room.
- Provides Hydraulic Balance: Optimizes fluid distribution in the system, ensuring that the desired amount of energy reaches each region.
- Extends Pump Life: By preventing overload on pumps, it reduces the risk of failure and extends their life.
- Efficient Heat Transfer: Increases the efficiency of heat transfer by preventing air and sediment accumulation.
- Improved Automation Performance: A more balanced system ensures more accurate and qualified outputs from automation systems.
- Easy Maintenance: Maintaining a single device is more practical than maintaining three separate devices.
Where is the Combined Balance Tank Installed?
The ideal location for a combination surge tank is between the primary circuit (boiler or chiller outlet) and the secondary circuit (heating or cooling system inlet). This location is ideal for both hydraulic balancing and effective separation of air and sediment from the system.
