What you need to know about a gas tank before deciding on it

Many dream of house far from the city - by a quiet lake in the forest. Solitude and enjoying nature are, of course, good, but only as long as you do not have to heat the stove and cook over the fire. You can, of course, learn over time, but such work will take your time and energy, and even gatherings in the light of a torch will please few people. Diesel or gasoline generators will provide electricity, but this, frankly, is not a cheap pleasure. Is there a way out - or do you have to accept that comfortable living conditions and privacy cannot be compatible? We live in the third millennium, so everything is possible if we use modern inventions and technologies. And today we will talk about a gas holder, a device that will solve two pressing problems: heating and electricity.

What is a gas tank and who can use it

We are actively building a gas pipeline to Europe and China, but we need to face the truth: a lot of settlements in our own country still live on bottled gas and coal-fired boilers. Let's leave aside thinking about why this is happening. Cylinder gas for cooking is a perfectly acceptable option.

Then you can refuel it and continue to use it further. If a gas station where you can change the bottle is close to your home, that's good. But if it is over 100 kilometers, then so far, to put it mildly, it is unprofitable to go to a gas station.

In this case, the question arises about placing a more capacious tank on the site, into which gas will be refueled for a long time. Moreover, it will be possible to use it not only for kitchen stove, and for heating and generator operation.

These are the containers called gasholders. In fact, these are tanks with all the equipment necessary for safe operation.

Gas tanks have a capacity of 2,700 to 20,000 cubic meters, and you will need to refuel them depending on your consumption - once or twice a year

Benefits of gas tanks

The main advantage of the gas tank is its autonomy. How to use gas and in what quantities will depend only on your desire, plus no drops in pressure and flow, as is the case with the main line.

The payback period of the gas tank is approximately three to four years, and the warranty period of operation is 25-30 years.

As a result, you will get completely clean heating, without burning and soot, without unnecessary odors. You do not risk the fertility of the soil on your site, you do not need to dispose of combustion products.

You can heat with gas, cook on it and heat water. A gas generator can be installed to the gas holder, the average cost of which is about 40 thousand rubles.

With such a generator, you can easily provide all household appliances in the house.PHOTO: nngenerator.com

A little about the device of gas tanks

Tanks for autonomous gas supply can be above ground or underground. The second option is preferable. The tank itself can be vertical or horizontal. Horizontal tanks will cost you less, but vertical tanks are more convenient from the point of view of operation, moreover, they do not need an evaporator.

Each tank is treated with a special anti-corrosion coating. The most effective is galvanic protection, which is offered as an option. It is worth shelling out for it, because it almost doubles the service life of the tank.

What gas is charged into gas tanks

The gas tank can operate on propane. It is delivered in a liquefied state. To reduce the cost of propane, it is mixed with butane, the mixture is called LPG. Depending on the season of use, LPG is divided into a summer and winter mixture. Summer is 50% propane plus 50% butane, winter is 70% propane plus 30% butane.

Attention! You can fill the tank no more than 85%.

In conclusion, it remains only to say that it is unprofitable to set the minimum capacity: many refuellers may simply refuse to go to you because of a small order. It is better to buy a bigger container and pay less for shipping. And of course, only professionals need to trust the installation. Any handicraft work is fraught with great disaster.
