I have tons of questions on wood boilers
and have many answered by searching through
the archives but it seems that as soon as one
gets answered it brings up a new question.
While awaiting delivery of the new boiler I'm working
towards getting some storage in place. While reviewing
others installations of pressurized tanks I see a pressure
tank is needed. Is this the same as used on a domestic
well? Does it need to be install next to the tank or can
it be placed down line in another room? How does one
size the pressure tank?
I have a 500gal propane tank that could be used. It is too large to
go into the basement so it would have to be placed next to the
house and have a structure built around it.. Is that a suitable
arriangement? Would insulated pex be able to be used for
this? Special type?
Lastly it has occured that some sort of rectangular storage
tank would be ideal. Automotive radiators are pressurized
so it seem it's possible. Could a welding shop fabricate
a 5x6x2.5 tank out of mild steel? 12 ga or so. Lots of internal
baffles for strength, bent corners/sides. These systems are low
pressure 1012lbs so test to 1.5 times? Sorry so long.
Any and all thoughts
appreciated... MM
