How to choose the right gas tank?

Simple formula:

As an example, only a gas tank with a high neck is taken with the calculation of refilling once a year

1) example house 50m2: 30*50m2+15%=1725l (gas tank volume from 1.7m3)

2) example house 100m2: 30*100m2+15%=3450l (gas tank volume from 3.5m3)

3) example house 150m2: 30*150m2+15%=5175l (gas tank volume from 5.2m3)

4) example house 200m2: 30*200m2+15%=6900l (gas tank volume from 6.9m3)

5) example house 250m2: 30*250m2+15%=8625l (gas tank volume from 8.7m3)

6) example house 300m2: 30*300m2+15%=10350l (gas tank volume from 10.5m3)

forget about the losses: large windows, frame and wooden houses. + from 10% to 30%

unforgettable seasonal refueling overexpenditure from 20,000 rubles. (house 150 m2 with a gas holder 4.6 m3 - refueling in summer 13 r/l * 4000 l = 52 tr and season 18.50 * 4000 l = 74 tr)

We take into account the fact that refilling less than 3500 liters usually costs 1 ruble more. (house 150 m2 with a gas tank 2.7 m3 refueling in summer 14 r/l * 2000 r = 28 tr winter 19.50 * 2000 l = 39 tr and multiply by 2 = 78 tr)

don’t forget about condensate pumping out the machine costs from 8,000 to 15,000 every 2 years

any gas holder can heat and cook for you hot water Uninterrupted hot water supply to a house from 250 m2, even a 50 liter gas cylinder costing 2000 rubles. with a 4kg/h gearbox costing 800 rubles. the question is how often and at what price it will be refueled, and also reliability plays an important role

The autonomous gasification system will function effectively if you choose the gas holder wisely. A gas holder is a tank designed to store liquefied gas. This device is an integral part of an autonomous gasification system. The consumer market offers a wide range of gas tanks various types. Today you can find a gas holder of vertical and horizontal, above-ground and above-ground type, of various sizes.

Installation organizations When installing household gasification systems, European standards are often used. Russian tanks can also be used. Russian standards are less resistant to corrosion and have a lower cost. European standard tanks are made of low-carbon steel or using special normalized fine-grained steel with anti-corrosion additives.

Basic criteria for choosing a gas tank

The underground container must be placed in the ground, taking into account climatic conditions, at a depth not lower than the soil freezing zone and the passage mark groundwater. According to SNIP 42-01-2002, the placement of the gas tank should not be less than 60 cm to the upper part of the tank.

When choosing a gas holder, a number of factors should be taken into account: the duration of the heating season, the required boiler power, the volume of gas consumed, and the area of the site. When choosing a gas tank, it is important to take into account its possibility of use year-round, based on the climatic conditions of the region. Properly selected equipment should function effectively without losing its performance at any time of the year. This requirement is satisfied by a wide range of gas tanks.

Modern gas tanks for autonomous gasification are able to operate uninterruptedly at temperature conditions from -40 to + 40 degrees and can withstand installation in the ground at a depth of up to 1.5 meters.

How to calculate the optimal tank capacity?

At the stage of developing a gas supply system, a specialist carries out all necessary calculations regarding the choice of optimal capacity. An accurate estimate of tank volume involves taking into account the surface area for heating or the volume of gas consumed. Average consumption of the gas mixture is in the range of 27-30 liters per square meter. So, if you need to heat an area of 300 m2, then you need to select a gas holder with a volume of up to 9000 liters. The tank capacity must also be calculated depending on the power of the gas boiler.

Thus, the choice of a gas tank for organizing an autonomous gasification system should be carried out taking into account the following criteria:

The regional location of the facility is Central, Northern Russia.
Strength of the body structure, neck, presence of a stiffener.
The presence of a manhole cover and anti-corrosion coating improves performance.
The presence of a device that will prevent the structure from floating in the presence of groundwater.

The cost of a gas tank is influenced by factors such as design features necks, tank volume and dimensions. Installation of an autonomous gasification system is impossible without the help of qualified specialists.

Autonomous gasification dachas for seasonal or multiple residences seems to be a pressing problem for any owner. Since the vast majority of dachas in the Moscow region do not have access to centralized gas supply networks, or such a connection is simply impractical due to its high cost, buy gas holder on dacha and create an autonomous gas supply system based on it country house will be the most rational and far-sighted solution to this problem.

Gas holder For dachas selected based on preliminary analysis the number of gas consumers, the frequency and duration of the buyer’s stay outside the city and a number of other less significant factors.

Gasification of short-stay country house

Gasification dacha Houses short-term stay, equipped with a gas stove for cooking and a water heater, does not require gas holders of significant capacity. In such cases, autonomous gasification of a country house can be implemented based on one of the following options:

Household gas cylinders 27 or 50 liters, installed directly in the kitchen or adjacent service area. This option is the cheapest; any user can handle connecting such cylinders, but it cannot be called the safest due to the lack of safety devices and the possible consequences of leaks in the container or its joints with other elements.
Mobile gas tanks with a capacity of up to 600 liters. The convenience of such LPG containers lies in the possibility of transporting personal cars, small occupied space and fairly high operational safety. Arriving at the dacha, you bring a mobile gas tank with you, connect it to the gas supply system in 10 minutes and do not experience the slightest inconvenience about calling an LPG tanker when the cylinders are running out.
Ground gas holder 500 liters. The current gas holder volume of 500 liters meets the gas needs for the season, without taking up much space and being a fairly reliable option for a tank for storing LPG.
Gas holder on 1000 liters, buy which is the most reasonable decision if the dacha has, in addition to the listed gas consumers, a heating boiler. At the customer’s request, a 1-cube gas holder can be installed in both above-ground and underground versions.

Gas holder to 1 m3– solutions for gasification country houses temporary residence. If the need arises permanent residence at the dacha or in the case of year-round heat consumers (for example, a large greenhouse), gasification of the dacha should be carried out with tanks of 2.5 cubic meters and above. Any similar gas holder on dacha, price on various options which is presented in the corresponding section of our website, requires, in addition to the purchase of the tank itself, certain costs for its installation. These costs include the cost of the reducer, shut-off and control valves, laying a gas pipeline line from the LPG tank to the walls of the facility and a number of other expenses.

Gasification of a country house: do you need a permit?

The question of the availability of permission from various regulatory authorities is asked by many of those who would like to implement autonomous gasification of a country house. The answer to this is quite simple - there is no need for permission if:

The volume of the gas tank does not exceed 10,000 liters;
The total power of consumers at the facility does not exceed 100 kW;
Installation is carried out by specialists who have the appropriate skills and permission to work with gas equipment.

In case installation gas holder on dacha performed by specialists of our company, all three conditions are met by default. Thus, there is no need for a permit for autonomous gasification of a country house.

Installing a gas tank at the dacha: choosing the right place

If you decide to buy a stationary gas holder for your dacha, then you need to remember the need to refill it periodically. That is, it must be installed in right place. Location of the gas holder on plot of land in relation to other objects it is regulated by SNIP and SanPIN standards. According to them, the installation of a gas tank at the dacha should be:

from the construction site - at a distance of at least 8 meters;
from the perimeter of the site - at least 2-3 meters;
from the foundation of the house - at least 10 meters;
from communications (pipelines, septic tank) - at least 4 m;
from the source of water intake - at least 5 meters.

When choosing a place to install a gas tank in the country, it is also worth remembering that the length of the tanker hose, as a rule, does not exceed 24 meters. The laying of gas communications can only be carried out underground, and on top of this area, appropriately marked with “Caution, gas!” tapes. It is not permitted to place any structures or landscape design elements.

Gas holder for a turnkey dacha: the advantage of professional execution

Gas holder For dachas“turnkey” can be installed independently, but in this case there can be no question of any operational safety. Autonomous gasification of a country house, carried out in full by our qualified employees for little money within one or two days, will provide you with guaranteed peace of mind and comfort in using the gas supply system of a country house.

You can get qualified answers to any questions you may have regarding the gasification of a country house or other facilities from our managers.

In the case of autonomous gasification of a house, the continuity of gas supply largely depends on the volume of the gas tank used in the system. Therefore, specialists from companies involved in the development of gas supply for country houses and cottages, even at the design stage they calculate the correct gas tank volume so as not to leave your clients without normal heating during the cold season.

Capacity of gas tanks

The average size of gas storage facilities for private residential properties varies from 2.7 cubic meters. m up to 10 cubic meters m. However, such figures are not the limit. For small ones industrial enterprises The tank capacity can be up to 200 cubic meters. m. Even more striking in their scale are the gas tanks that are used at large gas distribution stations. In some cases, the volume of such storage reaches 100 thousand cubic meters. m.

Naturally, for country cottages such sizes are absolutely useless, and usually to solve all the needs in terms of heating, cooking, pool heating, etc., a tank with a capacity of up to 10 cubic meters of gas is quite enough, even if we are talking about large 2 or 3-storey villas.

Gas holder with a volume of 10 cubic meters. meters.

When choosing a gas storage capacity for your home, you must provide one important nuance. It is never filled to capacity, and the usable volume is only 85%. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the overall dimensions with a certain margin.

Choosing the volume of a gas tank for a country house

The flow rate and, accordingly, the total capacity of the gas tank is influenced by several factors, and this is not only the total area of the heated room, but also the average annual temperature, the number of people living, the degree of insulation of the building and the power of the heating equipment.

The frequency of its refilling depends on the size of the gas storage facility. However, if we are not talking about seasonal country house, but about permanent residence, then in any case you will have to refill the tank at least twice a year. This is due to the fact that summer and winter gas mixtures have different proportions of propane and butane, therefore, in order not to freeze in winter, it is necessary to use the gas composition intended for this period.

Refill your volumes of gas tanks at the trusted company Promtekhgaz

Calculation of optimal capacity

Typically, the volume of a gas tank is calculated by specialists from a company that develops an autonomous gas supply system. However, if desired, homeowners can determine this parameter themselves.

The volume of the gas holder depends on the number of devices consuming gas, etc.

The cost of home gas storage facilities depending on their volume

Considering the volume of the gas tank, on average gas tanks are in the following price range (excluding installation of equipment and gasification of a residential property):

2.7 cu. m (area 120 sq. m) – 125 thousand rubles;
4.85 cu. m (260 sq. m) – 140-190 thousand rubles;
6.4 cu. m (500 sq. m) – 180-240 thousand rubles;
9.15 cu. m (850 sq. m) – 255-320 thousand rubles;

As a rule, when determining the size of a tank, the whole heating season(6 cold months) so that one full filling is enough for all needs in winter period, taking into account the climatic conditions of a particular region. Therefore, knowing the price of propane-butane and the size of your gas storage facility, you can determine the cost of the heating season for yourself.

Simple calculations show that with a gas tank volume of 3000 liters and a gas price of 14.3 rubles/l in the cold season, you will have to spend approximately 43 thousand rubles on heating if you refuel at the Promtekhgaz company. A relatively small price to pay for the right to enjoy all the benefits of a continuous gas supply and the opportunity to be in a warm room when there is severe frost outside.

A gas holder is a special container for storing propane. It is made of steel and equipped special equipment(measuring instruments, sensors, shut-off valves). Tanks for the home differ from industrial products in their volume. They are selected depending on the total area of the facility and the number of intake points (gas stoves, boilers, etc.).

We offer gas tanks for a private home on a turnkey basis - with underground installation. The installation process includes digging a pit, installing reinforced concrete slab to its bottom and installation of the tank itself. We work using specialized equipment - manipulators, excavators. This allows you to complete the assigned tasks as quickly as possible - installation and connection are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the characteristics of the facility, the quantity and type of equipment and the specific list of works.

Types of gas tanks

Stationary gas tanks for private houses are divided into two main categories according to the type of construction: horizontal and vertical. Let's take a closer look at the features of these tanks.

Horizontal gas tanks

These tanks are in high demand. They have such advantages as:

convenience of underground installation (the container can be completely immersed to a depth below the soil freezing level);
consistently high performance due to large mirror evaporation;
a wide selection of tanks of various sizes (including for heating not just one house, but an entire village);
self-flowing evaporation, no need for heaters.

Among their disadvantages are large sizes and the need for a significant area for proper installation.

Vertical gas tanks

These structures can be installed in a limited area and are suitable for country houses and other small objects. However, it is more difficult to achieve stable operation with them heating system, since the evaporation surface in such tanks is small, and part of the structure is often located above the soil freezing level. For correct functioning, fuel heaters are installed in the container.

Vertical gas tanks are suitable for summer cottages and other temporary residences. It is advisable to use them in the summer or off-season for cooking, heating water and other household needs.

Our gas tanks for a country house

We offer gas tanks with volumes from 2,700 to 10,650 liters. They are designed for objects total area of which - from 100 to 950 m², as well as work with boilers with a power of 20 to 110 kW. There are tanks for summer cottages from three manufacturers:

Russia. The most inexpensive products - their price ranges from 195-480 thousand rubles (the cost of a container with a volume of 10,650 liters is negotiated individually). The units are made in accordance with all quality standards and can last for decades.
Kadatec - gas tanks for summer cottages from a Czech company are made of high-alloy steel with a thickness of 5.7 mm. The company pays special attention quality of its products, tests each tank according to several parameters. For example, welds are checked by x-ray for the presence of the slightest defects.
VPS is a Czech company that has implemented a special quality control system in its production. It makes gas tanks from proven materials and offers them at the best price. All containers come with a 30-year quality guarantee.
