Kalvokalvotankit

Kalvokalvotankit, also known as diaphragm tanks, are a type of liquid storage vessel that utilizes a flexible diaphragm to separate the liquid from the surrounding environment or from another fluid. This diaphragm is typically made of rubber or other flexible materials and is designed to withstand the pressures and chemicals it will encounter. The primary function of a kalvokalvotankki is to maintain the integrity and purity of the stored liquid while also providing a safe and contained storage solution.

These tanks are commonly employed in various industrial applications, including the storage of chemicals, water, and other fluids. Their design offers several advantages. The diaphragm prevents direct contact between the stored liquid and the tank material, which can be crucial for corrosive or sensitive substances, thus preventing contamination and prolonging the life of the tank. It also allows for expansion and contraction of the liquid due to temperature changes without affecting the external environment.

Kalvokalvotankit are often used in situations where maintaining a specific pressure is important, as the diaphragm can flex to accommodate pressure variations. They can also be found in systems where maintaining a sterile or inert atmosphere is necessary, as the diaphragm can act as a barrier against atmospheric ingress. The construction of these tanks typically involves a sturdy outer shell to contain the diaphragm and the liquid, with appropriate inlet and outlet connections. Maintenance usually involves periodic inspection of the diaphragm for wear or damage and ensuring proper sealing of all connections.
