PEDROLLO 24 Liter PMR024HS Hydropneumatic Tank User Manual

Introducció

The PEDROLLO PMR024HS is a 24-liter hydropneumatic tank designed to maintain constant water pressure in domestic and industrial water supply systems. It works in conjunction with a water pump to store pressurized water, reducing pump cycling and extending pump life. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your hydropneumatic tank.

Informació de seguretat

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing, operating, or performing maintenance on the hydropneumatic tank. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, injury, or death.

• Always disconnect power to the pump before performing any installation or maintenance.
• Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 10 Bar (145 PSI).
• Ensure the tank is installed in a location protected from freezing temperatures.
• Use appropriate tools and personal protective equipment during installation and maintenance.
• If the tank shows signs of damage, corrosion, or leakage, discontinue use immediately and consult a qualified technician.
• Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local codes and regulations.

Instal·lació i Configuració

1. Desembalatge

• Carefully remove the tank from its packaging.
• Inspect the tank for any signs of shipping damage. If damage is found, do not proceed with installation and contact your supplier.
• Ensure all components listed are present. The tank typically includes the hydropneumatic tank itself.

2. Ubicació

• Install the tank in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Choose a location protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and freezing conditions.
• Ensure the mounting surface is level and strong enough to support the full weight of the tank when filled with water.
• Allow sufficient space around the tank for maintenance and inspection.

3. Connecting the Tank

• Connect the 1-inch inlet/outlet of the tank to your water system's pump discharge line.
• Use appropriate plumbing fittings and sealants to ensure a watertight connection.
• Avoid overtightening connections, which can damage threads.
• Ensure there are no kinks or restrictions in the plumbing lines leading to and from the tank.

4. Pre-charge Pressure Adjustment

The tank comes with a factory pre-charge pressure, which may need adjustment based on your pump's cut-in pressure. This adjustment should be done abans filling the tank with water.

• Ensure the tank is empty of water and the pump is off.
• Locate the air valve (similar to a tire valve) on the top or side of the tank.
• Use a reliable pressure gauge to check the current air pressure.
• Adjust the air pressure to be approximately 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure. For example, if your pump turns on at 30 PSI, set the tank's pre-charge to 28 PSI.
• Add air using a bicycle pump or air compressor, or release air by depressing the valve stem, until the desired pressure is reached.
• Replace the valve cap securely.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Posada en marxa inicial

• After installation and pre-charge adjustment, slowly open the main water supply valve to fill the system.
• Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections.
• Turn on the power to the water pump. The pump will start and fill the tank and system.
• Allow the pump to run until it reaches its cut-off pressure and shuts off automatically.
• Open a faucet to draw water, observing the pressure gauge. The pump should cycle on when the pressure drops to the cut-in setting.

2. Funcionament normal

During normal operation, the hydropneumatic tank stores water under pressure. When water is drawn from the system, the tank supplies it until the pressure drops to the pump's cut-in setting, at which point the pump activates to replenish the tank and system pressure. This reduces the frequency of pump starts, saving energy and reducing wear on the pump.

Manteniment

1. Regular Checks (Monthly)

• Visually inspect the tank for any signs of external corrosion, dents, or damage.
• Comproveu totes les connexions de fontaneria per detectar fuites.
• Listen for unusual noises from the tank or pump system.

2. Annual Pre-charge Pressure Check

The air pre-charge pressure can slowly decrease over time. It is crucial to check and adjust it annually to ensure optimal system performance.

• Turn off the pump and disconnect its power supply.
• Drain all water from the system by opening a faucet until water stops flowing and the system pressure drops to zero.
• Check the air pressure at the tank's air valve using a reliable gauge.
• Adjust the pressure to be 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure.
• Close the faucet, restore power to the pump, and restart the system as described in the 'Initial Start-up' section.
