Where should pressure tank be located?

The place where the pressure tank is going to be located, should confirm several requirements:

  • it should be well-ventilated;
  • the pressure tank should be at a safe distance from combustible materials, ignition sources, or intense heat;
  • the pressurized tank must be kept away from electrical circuits, open flames, sparks, etc. because it is metal and conducts electricity;
  • the temperature in this place must not exceed +52°C. The gas expands when heated and increases pressure in the tank, increasing the risk of explosion;
  • there should be no direct sunlight for the reason mentioned above;
  • tanks should be stored away from heavily traveled areas and emergency exits;

Summarizing, nitrogen pressurized tanks should be stored upright in a well-ventilated, dry, cool, secure area that is protected from the weather and preferably fire-resistant.
