The bath has appeared in human life since time immemorial. It has gained great popularity among different peoples of the world. Since the bath is primarily a means to cleanse the body with water, here you can not do without a tank. This is an important element in the specified structure. Use water tanks for a bath as a container in which hot water is located . That is why it is necessary to responsibly approach their choice.
Tank Selection Rules
When determining the volume of the tank, one should take into account how many people will immediately bathe in the bath. With a large number of visitors to this building, you will need a tank with an appropriate capacity, that is, at least 80 liters, and with a small number - about 50. In each case, an individual approach is required.
Water tanks for a bath should be chosen with strong walls. The thickness, respectively, depends on the capacity of this device. With a capacity of 50 liters, the average thickness is 1 cm, and at 70 - up to 1.5 cm. When choosing water tanks for a bath, you should rely on these indicators, since with thin walls the water will quickly cool, and with too thick the specified product will have a decent weight and considerable cost. It is also necessary to pay attention to the estimated number of inputs and outputs for water.
Type separation
Tanks for water for a bath are different. They are divided in connection with the location into three groups:
- Built-in tank. It is mounted in a furnace, where the bottom of the boiler is located at the top of the furnace. Thanks to this, water quickly acquires the required temperature. Due to the fact that the bottom of the boiler comes into contact with fire, the location of the smoke exhaust pipe does not matter. Water is scooped from above, opening a special cover, or through an installed tap.
- Remote tank for water in the bath is used if the furnace is connected to it using heat exchangers. Cold water after heating in the heat exchanger enters through the nozzle into the tube leading to the specified device. Thus, you can position the tank where it is most needed. Pipes in this case are better to use metal.
- The most economical is the tank mounted on the pipe. The specified device will minimize energy consumption. Since during the combustion of fuel the temperature of the smoke leaving the chimney is high enough, this tank for hot bath water can heat up very quickly. This is an important property of such a product. It will be advantageous to arrange a sufficiently large tank, since in it the water will acquire a high temperature quickly and evenly. The main disadvantage of this device is the inconvenience of filling, and if not correctly calculated, water can even boil.
Product Material
When choosing the specified tank, you need to pay due attention to what it is made of.
- The best material for making a tank is stainless steel. It is resistant to corrosion, easily heats up, its shape does not change even with a temperature difference.
- Cast-iron tanks also have considerable demand. Their main difference from stainless devices is slow heating of water and huge weight. Cast iron tanks are also resistant to corrosion. The main advantage of such a tank is its long-term heat storage.
