The bladder tank is a component of a balanced pressure proportional system that includes a pressure measuring tank with an internal elastomeric bladder for storage.concentrate therefore. Once the system is activated, the incoming water pressurizes the concentrate in the bladder, which supplies pressurized concentrate to a proportioning device. The device meters the foam concentrate into the fire water line, creating a foam solution. The solution is then channeled to a discharge device that protects the hazard area.
New & Improved Design
The entire range of high quality bladder tanks CHEMGUARDhas been redesigned from the ground up, with a focus on design flexibility, reduced lead times, and field usability. The CHEMGUARD Bladder Tank can be configured with a variety of options that will not change lead times, including:
- Trim Pipe Material
- Standard and Corrosion Resistant Paint
- Alternative Paint Colors
- Vision Meter
- Thermal Pressure Relief Valve
Horizontal Bladder Tank
Vertical Bladder Tank
This new design includes a variety of features that make installation, service and maintenance more efficient and convenient. Some of the key features/benefits:
- Open Leg Design – easy access to the bottom of the tank
- New Shell Drain System – faster refilling after trial testing
- Standard Grooved Coupling Connection – easy integration into fire water piping
- Reversible Water Inlet – pipes from both sides of the vertical tank
- Main Shutoff Valve – Use, install, or replace sight gauges with less mess
- Valve Nameplate with Ring Pin and Tamper Seal – No more questions about which valve is which or which valve position was left where
Bladder tanks have a variety of applications, including truck loading racks, aircraft hangers, submersible tanks, pump rooms, and helipads. Because they require no external power supply other than a pressurized water source, they are more economical than pump systems (for systems under 2,000 gallons). And bladder tanks, because of their simple design, require little maintenance.
Bladder tanks are available in horizontal, vertical and pre-pipe models.
