Booster Pump Pressure Vessel

A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold fluids or gases at a pressure different from the ambient pressure. In the context of a booster pump system, a pressure vessel is commonly used to store water under pressure so that it can be distributed to the required outlets at a consistent pressure.
​
The pressure vessel in a booster pump system typically consists of a steel tank that is designed to withstand the high pressure of the water inside. The tank is equipped with a bladder or diaphragm that separates the water from the air inside the tank. As water is pumped into the tank, it compresses the air, increasing the pressure inside the tank and providing a reserve of pressurized water that can be used when demand spikes.

The advantages of using a pressure vessel in a booster pump system include:

1. Consistent water pressure: A pressure vessel can help maintain a consistent water pressure by storing a reserve of pressurized water that can be drawn on as needed.
2. Reduced pump cycling: By reducing the frequency of pump starts and stops, a pressure vessel can help extend the life of the pump and reduce energy consumption.
3. Water hammer reduction: The air in the pressure vessel helps to absorb the shock of water hammer, which is a pressure surge that can occur when a valve is closed too quickly.

It is important to size the pressure vessel correctly for the booster pump system to ensure that it is effective in providing a consistent water pressure. A professional plumber or pump technician can assist in determining the appropriate size of the pressure vessel based on the specific requirements of the system.
