Tank Drawing

Checks to complete for tank drawings.

Checks for Modelling

  • Check consistency of tank model name to Schematic / test reports
  • Check all annotations /labels are present on drawing:
    • Height or volume above of all inlets and outlets (water entry/exit point on diptubes), element, thermostat, sensors, coil top and bottom.
    • Tank diameter, thickness and material.
    • Coil diameter, thickness, length and material.
    • Other requirements as per CER
    • Provide feedback to client for required changes.
  • If in doubt, use “Tank Volumes” sheet in TRNSYS tool to calculate tank volumes using Excel calculator and compare with provided values
  • Confirm HP, sensor and/or element positions meet Legionella requirements
    • If 45% heated to 60degC daily, daily HP sensor must have >45% volume above
    • If 90% heated to 60degC weekly, weekly HP/element sensor must have >90% volume above
    • Check AS 3498 Clause 7.i.j for more details
  • Confirm fitting positions meet flow control requirements
    • AS/NZS 4234:2008 Clause H4.2

Send Client Templates to Replicate

  • Send the client the Tank drawing data table (excel spreadsheet) with all the data to be added to the drawing.
  • Send the client the example tank drawing that represents the client’s tank (similar design) ie microchannel condenser tank.

Checks for Audit Submission

  • Confirm that the system and tank model names match the 2712 certificate.
  • If there are differences, include a “read me” file in the audit stating:
    &#xNAN;“The system model name in the drawing corresponds to the tank drawing used for the system model name. The two models are identical except for the naming (see declaration/authorization letter).”
  • Ensure the tank drawing:
    • Shows the height of all tank positions (inlets, outlets, sensors, elements).
    • Includes a data table with all volumes, HX dimensions, tank wall thickness, etc.
