For the purpose of this example, we will assume a 10 PSIG differential, so the pump would cut back on when system pressure drops to 88 PSIG. Determine what type of differential you want between the point that the booster system cuts off (98 PSIG) and the time it cuts back on again. There is a minimum street pressure of 40 PSIG, and the booster system itself is designed to generate 58 PSIG of pressure for a total maximum pressure of 98 PSIG.īased on this scenario, these are the steps you would take to determine the proper size hydropneumatic tank: Let’s say you have an apartment booster system designed to deliver a maximum of 124 GPM. With that in mind, an engineer can quickly determine the correct size tank for a given application by consulting a few charts and doing some simple math. Tanks that are placed on the roof or at the high point in the system can typically afford to be smaller than those installed at the discharge of the pressure booster. (2) The tank location in relation to the pressure booster pumps. Note that a hospital will typically need a larger tank in order for the booster pumps to remain off for the same amount of time as an apartment building where low usage periods are very consistent. It is recommended that the pumps stay off between 15 to 30 minutes (depending on the type of building) during periods of low demand to save energy and prevent short cycling.

(1) The length of time the designer theorizes that the booster pumps should remain off in a no-flow condition. Even a leaky faucet can cause pumps to operate unnecessarily without this pressurized reserve of water.Īs important as these tanks are in a system, it is equally important that they be sized correctly. Without a hydropneumatic tank, pumps will short cycle on and off during no flow periods. Properly sized hydropneumatic tanks are a non-negotiable element in a domestic water pressure booster system-including variable speed systems.
