Fuel Storage Tank for Thermic Fluid Heating Systems
What Is a Fuel Storage Tank?
A Fuel Storage Tank is used in a thermic fluid heating system to store the fuel required for operation of the TF Heater. It provides a dedicated storage arrangement for maintaining an adequate fuel supply and ensuring smooth fuel handling.
The tank can be designed according to the fuel type, storage capacity, heater consumption, installation conditions, and overall system requirements.
How Does a Fuel Storage Tank Work?
1. Fuel Inlet
Fuel is transferred into the storage tank through the designated fuel inlet arrangement.
2. Fuel Storage
The fuel is safely stored in the tank, maintaining an adequate supply for TF Heater operation.
3. Fuel Transfer
Depending on the system configuration, a suitable fuel pump transfers the stored fuel through the associated piping system.
4. Heater Supply
The fuel is supplied to the TF Heater burner through the fuel handling system for combustion and heat generation.
Key Features of Fuel Storage Tanks
Designed according to the required fuel storage capacity of the heating system.
Designed for integration with the TF Heater fuel handling and supply system.
Provision for suitable fuel inlet and outlet connections according to system requirements.
Drain and vent arrangements can be provided as required for the application.
