GT Water Technologies : Tanks
Top quality galvanised, stainless steel and powder-coated tanks
Featuring a seamless wall sheet, the innovative design results in higher quality tanks with fewer seams, built to any specific size required in traditional cylindrical designs. GT Water Technologies can also manufacture a range of sizes and colours of traditional panel tanks. Panel tanks have the advantage of being able to be cost-effectively powder- coated or painted prior to installation.
Cylindrical Wall Sheet Tanks:
GT Water Technologies can design and install both liner and gasket tanks in a range of shapes and sizes, and in a variety of materials and coatings.
- No manual lifting is involved; greatly reducing the risk of injury, keeping the site safer and documentation easier.
- Only a single seam is required to join the ring ends. This is easily concealed behind the level gauge, resulting not only in a more sound construction, but a more aesthetic one.
- While the size of a panel tank is restricted because its circumference must be a multiple of whole panels, one of our tanks can be made to any specific size, thus reducing costs by making the precise size required instead of defaulting to a tank size that is much larger than required.
- The tank is installed substantially faster than a panel tank would be, thanks to the unique method of transporting and dispensing the sheets, and a greatly reduced number of bolts.
- All seams face downwards, since each layer overlaps the layer below it. Therefore rain runs off the tank walls; keeping it cleaner and better protected from the elements, compared to panel tanks where water can often well in upwards-facing seams
Rectangular and Obround Tanks:
Where space is limited, rectangle and obround tanks are the best choice.
- Ability to fit around obstacles - such as columns and rafters
- Excellent option for narrow strips of land
Chilled Water Stratification:
GT Water Technologies offers the unique ability to provide a complete solution to chilled water stratification tank needs. After the system discharges the cool water to the building, the returning warm water must be stored. The remarkable aspect is that the cool water and warm water are stored in the same tank. By engineering precise flow
conditions using specially tailored diffusing devices, the water in the tank is stratified into two distinct layers, separated by a thin transitional layer called a thermocline. The level of the thermocline rises as the tank is charged at night and descends during the day when the tank is discharged, but the overall water level stays the same.
Thermal Energy Storage
By storing thermal energy during offpeak times, it is possible to drastically reduce energy requirements during peak hours. Chillers run at night to charge the thermal energy storage (TES) system with chilled water, which is then used in the building’s air conditioning system during daytime peak hours.
Key advantages include:
• reduction of energy costs up to 40%
• reduction of capital and maintenance costs
• improvement of chiller efficiency
• improved system endurance under extreme heat conditions
• 15 Green Star Building credits available
