SJV-140 thru 2000

and

SJH-200 thru 1000

ASME CONSTRUCTION

I All tanks are ASME constructed at 160 psi working pressure.

Consult your factory representative for tanks with greater or lesser working pressures

GLASSLINED

I Specialty Solar Tanks feature A. O. Smith PermaGlas®coating that

provides superior protection against corrosion and is fused to all inner tank surfaces at 1600°F

INSULATION

I All tanks are surrounded with 3 inches of high density fiberglass insulation to reduce

costly heat loss; insulation is non-sagging and verminproof. To meet ASHRAE 90.1 (current edition) depth of insulation cavity requires use of remote bulb-type tank temperature control and thermometer. Storage tanks meet R12.5 minimum thermal insulation requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy and current edition of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1

JACKET/CABINET

I All tanks feature heavy gauge steel with high quality powder coat paint that provides

additional insulating qualities for greater energy savings

CATHODIC PROTECTION

I All tanks are furnished with factory installed magnesium anodes designed for

maximum protection

CONNECTIONS

I Tanks will be supplied with the fittings located as indicated on the drawings unless specified

otherwise. Manhole or handholes are optional on glasslined tanks but are included on cement lined tanks

TEMPERATURE SENSORS

I Factory installed upper and lower temperature sensor wells with Pt1000 type sensors and

internal wiring pre-installed.

These storage tanks are

eligible for a 30% federal tax

credit when installed as part of

a complete commercial solar

thermal hot water system.

CUSTOM SOLAR TANKS: See options and suggested specification on page 4.
