EPDM TANKS
4. INSTALLATION
Check on arrival: Check immediately that the equipment corresponds to the order and that
all components are in perfect condition and that the correct instructions for use have been
enclosed. It is particularly important to check the pressure vessel for possible deformations
that could affect its strength. If defects or damage are found, contact the manufacturer
immediately.
A sticker with all necessary data is attached to the pressure vessel. Check that this data
corresponds to the specification and is suitable for the installation.
Check that the data on the sticker affixed to the hydro-pneumatic accumulator corresponds
to the purchase specification and is suitable for the installation. Before installation, make
sure that the volume of the hydro-pneumatic accumulator has been calculated by authorised
personnel. Make sure that the technical personnel has an appropriate profile and training in
the installation of this type of equipment. In any case, the local regulations for the operation
of hydropneumatic accumulators must be considered. Installation and operation must
be carried out in accordance with good practice by professional installers and authorised
technical personnel.
Only those tanks may be installed whose external appearance does not involve damage to
the body of the hydro-pneumatic accumulator.
They shall be installed in an enclosure that has the necessary access dimensions to facilitate
inspection of the hydro-pneumatic accumulator, with the filling valve, the connection sleeve
to the installation and the label being accessible.
The installation in which the hydro-pneumatic accumulator is placed shall provide for the
installation of a safety system to limit the pressure and ensure that the pressure does not
exceed the upper design limit of the hydro-pneumatic accumulator.
It is forbidden to drill, weld, etc. on the tank or any element attached to it, or to fit any
valve whose closure could unintentionally disable the operation of the hydro-pneumatic
accumulator.
Avoid direct radiation on the hydro-pneumatic accumulator to protect the diaphragm from
overheating.
Ensure that the hoses and couplings are watertight and that the operating temperature and
pressure for which the hydro-pneumatic accumulator is designed is never exceeded. Under
no circumstances exceed the maximum operating pressure indicated on the label of the
hydro-pneumatic accumulator. The hydropneumatic accumulator could explode.
