Accumulator - the correct circuit connection to the pump and the water supply system

In the private sector, most owners prefer to take care of themselves on the organization of the water supply of their homes and not to overpay for the centralized supply of this resource.The more that the cost of such services does not correspond to the quality of what emerges from the taps.One of the main elements of the circuit is a hydraulic accumulator.

By the way, it is often confused with the expansion tank, though still some differences between these products are.

To understand how to properly and how to connect the accumulator circuit, we should remember, and what do we need.Even the name of this device it is clear that it is intended for the accumulation (storage) of liquid.If it is not mounted, then every time you open the tap at the draw-off pump is switched on, and taking into account the tightness of the circuit and not absolute, and even work for some time in the "idle" (until the pressure rises to the nominal value).

Regardless of the structural body performance (installation of vertical or horizontal), there are certain rules accumulators connections that are shown in the diagrams:

But if you look closely, youshows that the connection principle diagram of the same.Consider this as an example of the simplified scheme:

pump (H) designated pos.1 , after which always put relay "dry" course (2) and check valve (3) . pressure switch (4) "runs" on / off "H", that is, together with accumulator (6) provides the most favorable for his operation.To be able to visually monitor the water supply circuit state mounted pressure gauge (5) .

Whatever configuration had not run from whatever manufacturers may be purchased by all components of the water system, the wiring diagram in the Assembly it remains unchanged.What

consider

• To seal (sealing) threaded connections make better use of FUM-tape.Re-use of old material (of any type - tow, the same tape, string) is not allowed.This will not only water leakage, but also cause malfunction of the automation, and consequently, impaired pump operating mode.
• must correctly select the optimal volume of the tank GA - it must meet a specific circuit, flow rate, and a number of other conditions.Acquire the device according to the principle "the neighbors of the same" is not only wrong, but also unacceptable.It needs a preliminary calculation of circuit parameters.
• place accumulator installation must be chosen so that it can be easily serviced and the temperature in the room under any circumstances should not fall below +5 ° C.
• nuances of connection depends on the GA model.Some products (usually small amounts) no release valve.
• The aqueduct system placed accumulator for cold water.On the need to pay attention even to the point of sale.
