ELCPN-800l Plastic container - above ground - action IVAR.ELCPN-800

Product detailed description

Above-ground plastic containers are commonly used in heating and pump systems to store water for expansion, dosing, or buffer functions. These tanks are often found in industrial, commercial and large residential buildings where space constraints or design requirements prevent underground installation. The IVAR ELCPN-800l is suitable for systems requiring a compact, yet robust solution for water storage. Installers working with expansion vessels, dosing units or buffer tanks will find this container ideal for integration into existing or new systems. It supports standard hydraulic connections and can be part of larger circuits involving pumps, valves and control units.

When installing such tanks, it is important to ensure the system is designed to accommodate the tank’s size and weight. The tank should be placed on a stable, level surface to avoid stress on connections or the tank body. The location should also allow for easy access during commissioning and future maintenance. For systems requiring multiple tanks, careful planning is needed to ensure even distribution of load and accessibility for inspection.

Technical parameters

Exact technical parameters for the IVAR ELCPN-800l are available in the manufacturer’s technical data sheet. These include capacity, material composition, and connection details which are essential for proper sizing and integration into the system. The tank is designed to meet standard requirements for water storage in heating and pump applications. Selection should be based on the required volume and the type of system it will serve.

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR ELCPN-800l requires placing the tank on a solid, flat surface to prevent movement or stress on the tank body. Connections should be made using compatible fittings and seals to ensure a leak-free system. Installers should verify that the tank is positioned to allow for free access to all connection points and to facilitate future inspection and maintenance. Common installation errors include incorrect alignment of the tank, failure to secure the base properly, and using incompatible sealing materials. All connections should be tightened according to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks and ensure system integrity.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR ELCPN-800l is compatible with a range of standard fittings and components used in heating and pump systems. To complete the installation, additional components such as valves, piping, and mounting brackets may be required depending on the specific application. Installers should ensure that all components are compatible with the tank’s material and intended use. Accessories such as isolation valves, pressure gauges, and flow meters may also be necessary for system monitoring and control.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR ELCPN-800l operates as a static water storage unit within a hydraulic system. It is constructed from durable plastic, selected for its resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure. This makes it suitable for use with potable and non-potable water in various environments. The tank’s design allows for integration into both open and closed systems. Its performance and service life depend on factors such as water quality, system pressure, and environmental conditions. Proper insulation and protection from direct sunlight can help maintain efficiency and prolong the tank’s lifespan.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the IVAR ELCPN-800l is recommended to ensure continued performance. Installers should check for signs of wear, leaks, or blockages at connection points. The tank should remain free from contamination and debris to prevent internal damage. If the system includes a dosing or expansion function, periodic checks of water levels and pressure settings may be necessary. There are no scheduled service intervals specified for this model; however, any issues affecting system performance should be addressed immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR ELCPN-800l be used with closed-loop systems?
Yes, the tank is suitable for use in closed-loop systems provided the system pressure and temperature are within the manufacturer's specifications.

Is the tank suitable for outdoor installation?
While the tank is made from durable plastic, it is recommended to install it in a protected location to avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation and extreme weather conditions.

What type of fittings should be used for connections?
Standard fittings compatible with the tank's connection ports should be used. Ensure all seals and gaskets are suitable for the system's operating conditions.

Can the tank be used for storing chemicals?
Only if the chemicals are compatible with the tank's material. Consult the manufacturer's technical data sheet for information on chemical resistance.
