Installation precautions for coolant storage tank

2025-04-27 Leave a message
The installation of coolant storage tank must strictly follow the specifications to ensure safety and normal function. The following are key precautions:
1. Installation location selection
A well-ventilated, dry area away from heat and fire sources should be selected to avoid rapid evaporation of coolant due to high temperature or fire hazards. At the same time, sufficient space should be reserved for daily inspection, maintenance and overhaul, and the ground should be flat and solid to withstand the weight of the storage tank when fully loaded to prevent the tank from tilting or settling. For large storage tanks, the bearing capacity of the foundation must also be considered, and the foundation should be reinforced if necessary.
2. Tank fixing
According to the type and specification of the storage tank, adopt a suitable fixing method. Small storage tanks can be fixed to the bracket or platform by bolts to ensure a firm connection; in addition to the bottom fixation of large storage tanks, support structures must be added to the side of the tank to prevent the tank from shifting or tipping due to wind, vibration and other factors. During the fixing process, pay attention to the uniform tightening of the bolts to avoid deformation of the tank due to excessive local force.
3. Pipeline connection
When connecting the coolant pipeline, ensure that the pipeline matches the storage tank interface, and use appropriate sealing materials, such as sealing rubber rings, sealing tapes, etc., to ensure that the connection is well sealed to prevent coolant leakage. The direction of the pipeline should be reasonably planned to avoid too many bends or sharp angles to reduce the flow resistance of the coolant. At the same time, necessary valves, such as stop valves and check valves, should be installed to facilitate the control of the flow direction and flow of the coolant, as well as to cut off the pipeline during maintenance and repair.
4. Instrument installation
Storage tanks are usually equipped with monitoring instruments such as level gauges, thermometers, and pressure gauges. During installation, they must be strictly operated in accordance with the instructions to ensure that the instrument is installed in the correct position and connected firmly. The installation of the instrument should be easy to observe and read, and its accuracy and reliability must be guaranteed. If necessary, it should be calibrated and debugged after installation.
5. Grounding and anti-static treatment
In order to prevent safety accidents caused by static electricity accumulation, the storage tank should be reliably grounded. The tank body can be connected to the grounding device through a dedicated grounding wire, and the grounding resistance must meet the requirements of relevant standards. For storage tanks storing flammable coolants, anti-static measures must also be taken, such as using pipes and accessories made of anti-static materials to avoid static sparks causing fires or explosions.
6. Post-installation inspection

After installation, the entire system needs to be fully inspected, including the fixing of the tank, the sealing of the pipe connections, the operating status of the instrument, etc. Perform a pressure test, inject an appropriate amount of coolant into the storage tank, and then slowly increase the pressure to check whether there is leakage in each part. After ensuring that the installation quality meets the requirements, it can be put into use.
