Storage Jacketed Vessel

MACHINE DESCRIPTION

A Stainless steel storage tanks, commonly used for various liquids like water, chemicals, or food products, function by leveraging the material's corrosion resistance and structural integrity. They typically consist of a cylindrical or rectangular vessel, often with a conical or dished top and bottom, and may include features like inlets, outlets, level indicators, and temperature sensors. The working principle revolves around safely storing liquids while maintaining their quality and preventing contamination.


MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Corrosion Resistance

Stainless steel, especially grades with chromium, forms a passive layer of chromium oxide that protects it from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for storing various substances without contamination.

Strength and Durability

Stainless steel provides the necessary strength to withstand internal pressure and external forces, ensuring the tank's structural integrity and longevity.


TANK DESIGN & FEATURES

Cylindrical or Rectangular

The shape of the tank depends on the application and available space. Cylindrical tanks are common for larger volumes, while rectangular tanks may be preferred for specific layouts.

Inlet & Outlets

These allow for filling and emptying the tank, often with valves for controlling the flow. 

Level Indicators

These devices monitor the liquid level inside the tank, providing information for control systems.

Temperature Sensors

These can be used to monitor and control the temperature of the stored liquid, especially in applications where temperature control is critical.

Breathers

These allow air to enter or exit the tank during filling or emptying, preventing over-pressurization or vacuum conditions.


WORKING PRINCIPLE

Storage

The tank's primary function is to store the liquid safely and securely.

Temperature Regulation

Stainless steel's thermal properties can help maintain a stable temperature, especially when insulated.

Mixing/Agitation

Some stainless steel tanks are equipped with mixing or agitation systems to keep the liquid contents homogenous or to facilitate reactions.

Monitoring and Control

Sensors and control systems monitor the tank's contents, ensuring optimal storage conditions and preventing issues like overflow or contamination.

Discharge

The liquid is typically discharged through the outlet, either by gravity or using a pump, and controlled by valves.
