Not all of the country houses have the opportunity to use gas from the main gas pipeline. But what to do to those who live outside the city and at the same time wants to enjoy all the benefits of civilization? In this case, let's assume the option of autonomous gasification of a suburban area, namely - the installation of a gas holder.
Features of gasholder installation in a private house
In fact, gasholder is not just a gas storage facility, but a whole system for its processing into fuel suitable for use by household appliances ( gas stove , column, etc.). Often used and heating a private house gasholderom.
The approximate scheme of autonomous gasification with gasholder is as follows:
- First you choose a suitable gas tank, called a gas holder. The capacity of this tank varies from 1650 to 25000 liters, sometimes even more.
- Then you sign an agreement with the company dealing with autonomous gas supply to provide the relevant services.
- Gasholder for a private house is installed within your site (usually underground). If possible, this is done away from buildings, farm buildings, artesian wells and septic tanks .
- Gasholder connects to gas equipment in your home with a plastic mini-gas pipeline. Also, the system includes a reduction unit and a protection system.
- The container is filled with a liquefied mixture of propane and butane. A special drain hose is used for this.
- Approximately 1-2 times a year you will need to fill the gasholder with the help of an automobile tanker coming to your call.
Requirements for installing a gas holder for a private house
It would seem that the scheme is very simple. However, when choosing a gas holder for a private house and its subsequent installation, many questions arise. You should know that there are several types of gasholders:
- ground - easy to install, but takes up a lot of space in the yard and does not always fit into landscape design. In our country is used rarely because of cold winters. For normal operation of the ground gas holder in conditions of minus temperature, it is required to install additional equipment (evaporators), and also to insulate the tank body itself;
- Underground - is buried in the ground below the freezing point. It requires extensive installation work, but in the process of operation such equipment provides maximum performance;
- mobile - suitable for small houses and villas. Its advantage is a quick connection to the system, as well as the possibility of self-fueling at any gas station. The capacity of such gasholder, as a rule, does not exceed 500 liters;
- vertical - good in that the pressure of the gas in the system does not depend on the filling level of the tank with the liquefied mixture. However, a vertical gasholder for a private house has low productivity due to a small evaporation surface;
- horizontal - has a great performance, but only as long as the tank is filled with more than 2/3. To further work was stable, installation of a reducer is required.
When choosing a gas holder for a private house, you first need to determine which type is more suitable for you - horizontal or vertical - and then decide how much tank you need. The average figures are as follows: for heating a private house with an area of 200 square meters. m need a gas tank of 4000 liters. At the same time, the volume of the horizontal gasholder should be 20% more than necessary in order for its productivity to be sufficient. Exact calculations of the required volume will be provided by the company's employees, who will be engaged in the installation and maintenance of the autonomous gas supply system.
You also need to consider the following points. Under gasholder necessarily poured a concrete pillow or stack the reinforced plate. The distance to the foundation of the building should not exceed 2 m. The gas pipeline itself runs at a depth of not less than 1.5 m.
