SUMMARY OF CHANGES

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. The following question and answer is provided for clarification to the existing solicitation

Q1. Section 01015 of the solicitation calls for a service boosting system and Hydro pneumatic tanks
with compressed air system and one day water demand capacity. Please clarify this requirement.

A1. Both a booster pump and hydro-pneumatic system is to be used. The hydro-pneumatic tanks shall
be designed per the AED Design Requirements-Hydro-Pneumatic Tanks. A one-day water demand is
not required.

2. Delete paragraph 2.4.1.2.8 of Section 01015 in its entirety and replace with the following:

The Contractor shall provide horizontally mounted and insulated above ground hydro-pneumatic
tank(s) containing water and compressed air located adjacent to the booster pumps to maintain system
pressures between 275 kPa to 282 kPa. A compressor is required to charge the tank with air. At low
level the water remaining in the tank shall be at least ten percent of the capacity of the tank. The tank
size shall be determined such that the pump cycles not less than four (4) times per hour or more than
ten (10) times per hour. Storage may be divided between duplicate units in cases where a single tank
would be too long to easily transport to the site. The storage facility shall be located above drainage
areas and locations subject to flooding as approved by the KO. The Contractor shall design the hydro-
pneumatic tanks per the requirements of the AED Design Requirements-Hydro-Pneumatic Tanks.

3. Delete paragraph 2.4.1.1d of Section 01015 in its entirety and replace with the following:

Hydro-pneumatic tanks - Volume and pressure regulation to maintain a


pressure range provided in the technical requirements based on the capacity to provide a minimum
water flow of 5.0 liters per second at a minimum pressure of 275 kPa.

4. Add A41: AED Design Requirements: Hydropneumatic Tanks to


Appendix A. See attached.

5. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.

Hydropneumatic Tanks

1. General

The purpose of this document is to provide requirements to Contractors for any project requiring hydro-
pneumatic tank design and construction.

2. Hydropneumatic Tanks

There are several different functions that a hydropneumatic tank can perform. In a booster pump
application, it can provide water to the system during periods of a no flow shutdown of the booster pump
or it can provide water to replace leak loads. In a well water application, it can provide the desired
volume of water required between the pump shut down pressure and the pump turn on pressure. In a
sprinkler or irrigation pump application, the tank may provide a cushion to maintain necessary pressure
so the jockey pump will not short cycle.

3. Type of Tanks

a) Bladder Tanks. Bladder tanks are required in a closed loop heating or chilled water HVAC system to
absorb the expanding fluid and limit the pressure within a heating or cooling system. A properly sized
expansion or compression tank will accommodate the expansion of the system fluid during the heating or
cooling cycle without allowing the system to exceed the critical pressure limits of the system. The
expansion or compression tank uses compressed air to maintain system pressures by accepting and
expelling the changing volume of water as it heats and cools. Some tank designs incorporate a
diaphragm or bladder to isolate the expanded water from the pressure controlling air cushion. As water is
expanded, it is contained in the bladder preventing tank corrosion and water logging potentials. The
pressure controlling air cushion is pre-charged at the factory and can be adjusted in the field to meet
critical system requirements. This design and operation of this style of expansion tank allows the
designer/specifying engineer to reduce tank sizes up to 80%. Bladder tanks have a totally replaceable
bladder. This tank must be equipped with large service openings and also allow the bladder to be
replaced without having to remove the tank from its mounting.

b) FXA Bladder Tanks (ASME). The FXA Series tanks are manufactured to ASME specifications. The
FXA's are industries broadest line of bladder style tanks. These vessels are designed using a heavy-duty
replaceable butyl bladder, and are offered in sizes ranging from 10 to 4,000 gallons, with working
pressures of 125 psi (standard), 200 and 250 psi.

c) Diaphragm Tanks. The diaphragm tank has been developed to allow the systems air cushion to be
separated from the systems water. No water logging of the tank can occur as the air is held between the
tank wall and the outside of a bladder placed inside the tank, while the system water is contained inside
the bladder. This changes the system to an air elimination system, as any air extracted from the system
water is passed out of the system into the atmosphere. The diaphragm cannot be replaced if the tank
fails. The advantage of this style is the initial cost. On smaller tanks the cost of replacing the bladder may
exceed the cost of replacing the tank.

4. Hydropneumatic Tank Sizing

A tank can be viewed as a bag of air. The goal in sizing a tank is to make the bag of air large enough so
that when the desired amount of water is put in the tank the air is not compressed to a pressure greater
than system design. The first step in sizing a hydropneumatic tank is to determine the amount of water
that the tank will be required to supply during any given cycle, drawdown. Drawdown is determined by
the following equation.

D = t * (Q * 60) / 4

Where:
D = Drawdown (liters)
T = cycle time (min.)
Q = tank flow rate (liters/sec.)

Once the drawdown has been determined the minimum and maximum pressure of the system should be
determined. The minimum pressure is the pressure where the system pumps will turn on and the
maximum pressure is the shut off pressure of the pumps.

The acceptance volume is the volume of water a tank is designed to hold based on the minimum and
maximum pressures. In a bladder tank, a bladder smaller than the tank size is used, the acceptance
volume would be what the bladder is designed to hold. Air is contained between the tank shell and the
bladder,therefore it is not possible to fill the entire tank with water. Some bladder tanks have a stated "full
acceptance volume". This means that if there is a loss of air in the tank, the bladder would be able to
accept full tank volume without permanent damage. The acceptance volume is determined by multiplying
the tank volume by an acceptance factor. The acceptance factor is determined by the following equation.

F = 1 - [ (Pƒ + atmospheric pressure) / (Po + atmospheric pressure) ]

Where:
F = acceptance factor
Pƒ = minimum operating pressure (gauge pressure)
Po = maximum operating pressure (gauge pressure)
Atm = atmospheric pressure=101 kpa

Alternatively, the tank size may be determined by dividing the drawdown by the acceptance factor.

V=D / F

Where:
V = tank volume
D = drawdown
F = acceptance factor

5. As-Builts

Upon completion of installing the hydropneumatic tank, the Contractor shall submit editable CAD format
As-Built drawings. The drawing shall show the final product as it was installed in the field, with the exact
dimensions, locations, materials used and any other changes made to the original drawings. Refer to
Contract Sections 01335 and 01780A of the specific project for additional details.

AED Design Requirements
Hydropneumatic Tanks

Example 1. Hydropneumatic Tank Sizing

Select a ASME replaceable bladder type hydro-pneumatic tank for municipal well water and booster
application. The tank shall provide 12.5 liters per second to prevent booster pump short cycling. The
allowable cycle of the booster pump is 10 minutes and the minimum and maximum operating pressures
are 30 psi (207 kpa) and 60 psi (414 kpa) .

Known:

Flow (Q)=12.5 lps


Cycle (t)=10 min
Pƒ=207 kpa
Po=414 kpa
Atm = 101 kpa

Find drawdown.

D=t(Q*60)/4

D=10 min((12.5 l/s)(60sec/min))/4 = 1,875 liters

Determine acceptance factor.

F=1-[(Pƒ+atmospheric pressure)/(Po+atmospheric pressure)]

F=1-[(207+101)/(414+101)=0.402

Determine tank volume.

V=D/F

V=1,875 liters/0.402=4,664 liters

Use one 4,800 liter hydropneumatic tank or two 2,400 liter hydropneumatic tanks.
