The Different Types of Water Tanks — Rekas

Depending on the topography of the reservoir location


Depending on the topography of the land like that water storage tanks UAE where the reservoirs are located, the following are distinguished:


Raised tanks


They ensure the distribution of water in the agglomerations in a gravity way. They consist of a tank mounted on a tower or on pillars (posts).


The shapes of the tanks of these tanks are circular with a volume less than 1000m3 and conical trunks with a volume greater than 1000m3. The height of water in the tank varies between 5 to 6m and a trigger of 1m.


Tanks located on the ground


if the ground on which the tank is located in favorable for ensuring gravity distribution, it is placed directly on the ground. The sections of these reservoirs are rectangular with a volume greater than 300m3 (the water height varies between 4 to 5m with a boost of 1m), and the circular section has a volume less than 3000m3.


The dual-energy sanitary water tank


The domestic hot water tank is equipped with a solar exchanger at the bottom of the tank and a backup exchanger (and/or electrical resistance) at the top of the tank. The whole volume of sanitary water restricted in the tank can be heated by solar energy; any additional heat is provided by the backup. These tanks are generally made of enameled or stainless steel and insulated with a jacket of polyurethane foam or mineral wool with a thickness of 8 to 15 cm. In a residential installation, the solar tank usually acts as a single DHW storage tank.
