A 500-litre Lowara pressure vessel is a tank used in fluid management systems, typically in water supply, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), or industrial applications. It is designed to maintain pressure in a system and store water to prevent excessive cycling of pumps. Lowara, a reputable brand under Xylem, specializes in water handling products, including pressure vessels.
Description
Key Features of a Lowara Pressure Vessel
- Capacity: This specific vessel has a volume of 500 litres (300 useable).
- Construction:
- Made from durable materials including stainless steel and carbon steel.
- Equipped with an internal bladder to separate water from the air.
- Application:
- Used in booster pump systems to stabilize water pressure.
- Prevents water hammer and reduces wear on pumps.
- Allows for water storage to handle demand spikes.
How It Works
- The vessel contains a flexible internal membrane (bladder) that separates water from compressed air.
- When the system’s water pressure decreases, the compressed air forces water out of the vessel, maintaining pressure and reducing pump cycles.
Benefits
- Extends the lifespan of pumps.
- Ensures consistent water pressure in the system.
- Saves energy by reducing pump starts and stops.
This type of vessel is common in systems requiring a steady water supply and pressure, such as municipal water supply networks, irrigation systems, and commercial buildings.
