STORING TANK, Noninsulated

The REKA storing tank with domed end plates made of 4 mm tank plate is designed for thermo-syphon action.
Termo-syphon action is attainable if the bottom of the storing tank levels the centre of the boiler or is on a higher level. This serves the purpose of storing excess heat, which is applied to sonsumption through the storing tank, equalizing variations of temperatures, and preventing the water for boiling or boiling down.

NB: Thermo-syphon action requires tubes of 2" or more, and only elbows may be applied (angular tubes must be avoided).
