Working principle of horizontal storage tank
The basic working principle of a horizontal storage tank is to store and discharge liquids or gases through the principle of statics. When liquid or gas enters the tank, gravity will cause it to deposit downwards, and the corresponding pressure at the bottom of the tank will gradually increase. When the pressure at the bottom of the tank reaches a certain value, the stored liquid or gas is added or discharged through the inlet and outlet pipelines.
2. Horizontal storage tanks can also achieve quantitative and timed control of liquids or gases through the setting of inlet and outlet pipelines, thereby meeting the requirements of different production processes for storage tanks.
Application of horizontal storage tanks
Horizontal storage tanks are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and food, and are suitable for various process requirements such as batching, mixing, filtration, reaction, extraction, and distillation in the storage and processing of liquids or gases.
Compact structure of horizontal storage tank: small footprint, suitable for places with limited space; Uniform distribution of liquids: reduces the phenomenon of liquid stratification and precipitation; High pressure capacity: Ensure the safety of storage media.
At the same time, horizontal storage tanks have the advantages of fast discharge, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and good sealing, which can ensure the safety and efficiency of the production process.
