Solution tank - 35l GEL.TANK PE

Product detailed description

The IVAR solution tank is commonly used in chemical dosing systems for water treatment in heating and plumbing applications. It is typically found in commercial and industrial buildings where precise control of chemical concentrations is required. Installers working with water softening, pH adjustment, or anti-scalant dosing systems will encounter this type of tank during system setup. The tank provides a dedicated space for mixing and storing prepared solutions, ensuring consistent dosing over time.

This model supports integration with automated dosing pumps, allowing for efficient and controlled delivery of chemicals into the system. Proper installation includes positioning the tank close to the point of application and ensuring secure mounting to avoid vibration or movement during operation. Technicians must also consider the flow characteristics of the system and the viscosity of the chemical solution when selecting this component.

Technical parameters

Nominal capacity	100 l
Code	455.000.35
Brand	IVAR

The 35L solution tank offers a total internal volume of 100L, making it suitable for preparing and storing diluted chemical solutions. This capacity ensures that the tank can support extended dosing cycles without frequent refilling. The size and volume help in determining the correct model based on the required chemical concentration and frequency of dosing.

Installation and connection

To install the IVAR solution tank, position it near the dosing pump and ensure stable mounting to prevent tipping. Connect the pump inlet directly to the tank using compatible fittings, typically requiring standard thread types depending on the pump model. Check the tank for any manufacturing defects or cracks before use. Common errors include incorrect pump orientation, which can lead to air entrapment, or improper sealing at the pump inlet, resulting in leakage and reduced dosing accuracy.

Compatibility and accessories

This tank is designed to work with dosing pumps that have inlet connections matching the tank’s outlet threading. For full functionality, a compatible dosing pump should be selected and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Additional components such as level sensors or agitators may be needed depending on the chemical properties and mixing requirements. Related products must be sourced separately and verified for mechanical and hydraulic compatibility.

Technical background for designers

The tank is constructed from chemically resistant plastic, chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion from common water treatment chemicals. Its design facilitates the mixing process and minimises sedimentation by allowing even dispersion of the solution. When integrated into a system, the tank’s placement relative to the dosing point and pump suction head must be optimised to maintain consistent flow rates and reduce wear on the pump mechanism. Long-term performance depends on proper chemical handling and adherence to recommended storage conditions.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections should be conducted to detect signs of wear, such as cracks or deformation around the pump connection area. The tank should be cleaned periodically to remove residue or deposits that could interfere with dosing accuracy. There are no specific service intervals provided, but maintenance should follow the guidelines outlined in the manufacturer’s documentation to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Frequently asked questions

Can a dosing pump be mounted directly onto the tank?
Yes, the tank is designed to accommodate a dosing pump directly at the outlet connection point. Ensure the pump is aligned correctly to avoid stress on the fittings.

What type of chemical solutions is this tank suitable for?
The tank is made of chemically resistant plastic, suitable for most common water treatment chemicals. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific chemical compatibility details.

How is the tank secured during installation?
Mount the tank on a stable surface or bracket to prevent movement. Avoid placing it in areas subject to high vibration or physical impact.

Is it possible to monitor the liquid level inside the tank?
Level monitoring is not included as standard. If required, additional level sensors or sight glasses must be installed separately.
