How to choose a gas holder?

Simple formula:

As an example, only a high-neck gas holder is taken with the calculation of refueling once a year

1) example house 50m2: 30 * 50m2 + 15% \u003d 1725l (gas tank volume from 1.7m3)

2) example house 100m2: 30 * 100m2 + 15% \u003d 3450l (gas tank volume from 3.5m3)

3) example house 150m2: 30 * 150m2 + 15% \u003d 5175l (gas tank volume from 5.2m3)

4) example house 200m2: 30 * 200m2 + 15% \u003d 6900l (gas tank volume from 6.9m3)

5) example house 250m2: 30 * 250m2 + 15% \u003d 8625l (gas tank volume from 8.7m3)

6) example house 300m2: 30 * 300m2 + 15% \u003d 10350l (gas tank volume from 10.5m3)

any gas holder can heat and cook for you hot water DHW uninterruptedly into a house from 250m2 it can even a 50l gas bottle cost 2000rub. with a 4kg / h gearbox at a cost of 800r. the question is how often and at what price will it be refueled, and also reliability plays an important role

The autonomous gasification system will function efficiently if it is wise to choose a gas holder. The gas holder is a storage tank liquefied gas. This device is an integral part of an autonomous gasification system. A wide range of gas holders is presented on the consumer market of various kinds. Today you can find a gas tank of vertical and horizontal, ground and ground type, of various sizes.

Installation organizations, when installing domestic gasification systems, often use European standards. Russian tanks may also be used. Russian standards are less resistant to corrosion and have a lower cost. The European standard tanks are made of low carbon steel or using special normalized fine-grained steel with anti-corrosion additives.

The main criteria for choosing a gas tank

The capacity underground should be located in the soil, taking into account climatic conditions at a depth not lower than the freezing zone of the soil and the groundwater passage mark. According to SNIP 42-01-2002, the placement of the gas tank should not be less than 60 cm to the upper generatrix of the tank.

When choosing a gas holder, a number of factors should be taken into account: the period of the heating season, the required boiler capacity, the amount of gas consumed, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe site. When choosing a gas holder, it is important to consider its ability to use, year-round, based on the climatic conditions of the region. Properly selected equipment should function efficiently without losing its performance at any time of the year. This requirement is met by a wide range of gas holders.

Modern gas-holders of autonomous gasification are capable of uninterrupted operation at a temperature of -40 to + 40 degrees and are able to withstand installation in the ground at a depth of up to 1.5 meters.

How to calculate the optimal tank capacity?

The specialist at the stage of development of the gas supply system carries out all the necessary calculations regarding the choice of the optimal capacity. An accurate estimate of the volume of the tank involves considering the surface area for heating or the volume of gas consumed. The average consumption of the gas mixture is in the range of 27-30 liters per square meter. So, if you want to heat an area of \u200b\u200b300 m2, then you need to select a gas tank with a volume of up to 9000 liters. The tank capacity must also be calculated depending on the capacity of the gas boiler.

Thus, the choice of a gas holder for organizing an autonomous gasification system should be based on the following criteria:

The regional location of the object is Central, Northern Russia.
Strength of the structure of the body, neck, the presence of stiffeners.
Existence of a hatch cover, an anticorrosive covering improving operational characteristics.
The presence of a device that will prevent the ascent of the structure in the presence of groundwater.

The cost of a gas tank is influenced by factors such as the design features of the neck, the volume of the tank and its size. Installation of an autonomous gasification system is impossible without the help of qualified specialists.

In the case of autonomous gasification of a house, the continuity of gas supply largely depends on the volume of the gas holder used in the system. Therefore, specialists of companies involved in the development of gas supply for country houses and cottages, even at the design stage, calculate the correct gas tank volumeso as not to leave their customers in the cold season without proper heating.

Capacity of gas tanks

The average size of gas storages for private residential facilities varies from 2.7 cubic meters. m to 10 cubic meters m. However, such figures are not a limit. For small industrial enterprises, the tank capacity can be up to 200 cubic meters. m. Gas tanks that are used at large gas distribution stations are even more striking in their scale. In some cases, the volume of such a storage reaches 100 thousand cubic meters. m

Naturally, for country cottages such sizes are completely useless, and usually to solve all the needs in terms of heating, cooking, pool heating, etc., a tank with a capacity of up to 10 cubic meters of gas is enough, even if it comes to large 2 or 3-storey villas.

Gas tank, volume of 10 cubic meters. meters.

When choosing a gas storage capacity for your home, you need to provide one important nuance. It is never filled to capacity, and the usable volume is only 85%. Therefore, you need to calculate the overall dimensions with a certain margin.

The choice of gas tank volume for a country house

Several factors affect the flow rate and, accordingly, the total capacity of the gas tank, and this is not only the total area of \u200b\u200bthe heated room, but also the average annual temperature, the number of people living, the degree of insulation of the building and the capacity of the heating equipment.

The frequency of refueling depends on the size of the gas storage. However, if we are not talking about a seasonal country house, but about a permanent place of residence, then in any case it will be necessary to refuel the tank at least twice a year. This is due to the fact that summer and winter gas mixtures have a different proportion of propane and butane, therefore, in order not to freeze in winter, it is necessary to use the gas composition intended for this period.

Optimum capacity calculation

Typically, the volume of a gas tank is calculated by specialists from a company that is developing an autonomous gas supply system. However, if desired, homeowners can determine this parameter themselves.

The volume of the gas tank depends on the number of devices consumed by the gas, etc.

The cost of home gas storage facilities depending on their volume

Given the volume of the gas reservoir, on average, gas holders are in the following price range (excluding installation of equipment and gasification of a residential property):

2.7 cc m (area 120 sq. m) - 125 thousand rubles .;
4.85 cc m (260 sq. m) - 140-190 thousand rubles;
6.4 cubic meters m (500 sq. m) - 180-240 thousand rubles;
9.15 cc m (850 sq. m) - 255-320 thousand rubles;

As a rule, when determining the size of the tank, the whole heating season (6 cold months) is taken into account, so that one full filling is enough for all needs in the winter, taking into account the climatic conditions of a particular region. Therefore, knowing the price of propane-butane and the size of your gas storage, you can determine for yourself the cost of the heating season.

Simple calculations show that with a gas tank of 3,000 liters and a gas price of 14.3 rubles / liter in the cold period, approximately 43 thousand rubles will have to be spent on heating if refueling at Promtehgaz. A relatively small price for the right to use all the benefits of continuous gas supply and the ability to be in a warm room when there are large frosts outside the window.

Types of gas holders

Stationary gas holders for private houses by type of construction are divided into two main categories: horizontal and vertical. Consider the features of these tanks in more detail.

Horizontal gas holders

These tanks are very much in demand. They have advantages such as:

convenience of underground installation (the container can be completely immersed to a depth below the level of freezing of the soil);
consistently high productivity due to the large evaporation mirror;
a wide selection of tanks of various sizes (including for heating not just one house, but the whole village);
self-flowing evaporation, no need for heaters.

Among their shortcomings are large sizes and the need for a substantial area for proper installation.

Vertical gas holders

These structures can be installed in a limited area and are suitable for country houses and other small objects. However, it is more difficult to achieve stable work with them. heating system, since the evaporation mirror in such tanks is small, and part of the structure is often located above the level of freezing of the soil. For proper operation, fuel heaters are installed in the tank.

Vertical gas tanks are suitable for cottages and other temporary residence facilities. It is advisable to use them in the summer or off-season for cooking, heating water and other household needs.

Our gas holders for a country house
