Vicky 200L Pressure Expansion Vessel (also known as a pressure tank) is a specialized device used to store hydraulic energy in the form of pressure and regulate pressure in water pump systems, store and maintain water pressure, help balance the hydraulic system, reduce vibration and water hammer, and extend pump lifespan.
Key Features
The Vicky 200L pressure tank, especially with a 16 bar pressure rating and large capacity, offers the following advantages:
- High Pressure Resistance: Maximum working pressure of 16 bar, much higher than standard tanks (8 bar or 10 bar), ensuring durability and safety when installed in high-performance booster systems.
- Large Capacity (200L): Helps store a large volume of water, reducing pump operation frequency (pump start/stop cycles), thereby increasing pump lifespan and saving electricity.
- EPDM Bladder: High durability, good elasticity, and chemical corrosion resistance (especially Chlorine in water supply), ensuring clean water without contacting the steel shell.
- Pressure Stability: Helps maintain stable pressure in pipelines, minimizing water hammer during sudden pump switching or fast valve operations.
- Vertical design with sturdy support feet for convenient installation.
- Complies with European PED97/23/CE standards for safety and quality.
- Supports pressure stabilization, reduces air bubbles, prevents hydraulic shock, helping pumps run smoother and more efficiently.
Applications
- Booster Systems: Installed with pumps to maintain continuous water pressure for high-rise buildings, apartments, hotels, or areas requiring strong water pressure.
- Industrial Water Supply Systems: Used in factories and enterprises to supply water at stable pressure for production processes.
- Fire Fighting Systems: Used to stabilize initial pressure before the main pump operates.
- Solar Energy Systems: Used for storing and pressurizing hot water.
Usage Notes
- Install the tank on a flat, fixed surface and avoid heavy impacts.
- Check pressure regularly to ensure it does not exceed allowable limits.
- Periodically clean and maintain the EPDM membrane to maintain working efficiency.
- Avoid environments exceeding the allowable temperature range (10 – 70°C).
- Comply with technical instructions and safety standards during installation and operation.
