It is 10 bar rated and has a replaceable membrane with a strong AISI 304 stainless steel inox flange. Imera vessels are manufactured, tested and checked according to current European regulations. This vessel is rated to work with water that is between -10°C and +100°C and is finished in a tough white paint finish.

The pressure tank with replaceable membrane is an element used in hydraulic applications for sanitary water circuits, such as pressure groups in combination with pumps or devices such as anti-water hammer. The main purpose of the pressure tank is to give water at a steady pressure, in order to limit the pump hourly starts, safeguarding its working and electricity consumption. This is possible thanks to precharged air pressure stored between the membrane and the internal metal surface of the tank.

When the pressure increases, the air cushion compresses letting the water filling in the tank, and then keeping it under pressure to be reused when the user requests it. Working Description Once the system is working, the pressure of the pump lets the water filling in the bladder inside tank. When the pressure reaches its maximum threshold value, the pump stops.

Inside the tank there is the maximum quantity of water. When the membrane expands, it occupies all the volume of the tank. If water is required by the system, it starts flowing out of the tank without using the pump but just using the pressure in the air cushion.

As the process is going on, the membrane deflates until the pressure reaches its minimal threshold value. At this point the membrane is back to its initial dimensions, the pump starts again and a new cycle begins. Made in Italy - Imera is a division of Zilio Industries SpA
