A seniors’ residence during morning care, a sports centre whose showers fill up after every game, a commercial laundry or a hotel in high season. For these uses, the \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White M3ST200R5A hot water storage tank\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a reserve of \u003cstrong\u003e200 US gallons (167 imperial gallons, or 751 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e and includes the \u003cstrong\u003eASME configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It holds the water produced by commercial electric water heaters or by an electric boiler, and makes it available when demand exceeds what these units produce at that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ASME configuration changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)\u003c\/strong\u003e code governs the design and construction of pressure vessels. In Bradford White’s storage tank series, ASME construction is offered as an option, and the M3ST200R5A is precisely the version that includes it. In many projects, the engineer, the insurer or the building manager requires a tank built to this code above a certain volume; choosing the ASME version from the outset avoids reordering at the last minute. We confirm this requirement with you from the assessment stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 US gallons \/ 167 imperial gallons \/ 751 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME configuration included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi (1,034 kPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 1\/2 in (64 mm) NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitraglas with Microban\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in (51 mm) CFC-free foam on the sides and top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e two anode rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrain valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e brass, low-restriction, vandal-resistant design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e height 77 in (1,956 mm), diameter 32 in (813 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 633 lb (287 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1b\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuildings where this volume makes sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 200 US gallon reserve is justified when demand arrives in very sharp waves. In a seniors’ residence, baths and care are concentrated in the morning. In an arena or a fitness centre, all the showers run at the same time for twenty minutes, then nothing. A commercial laundry fills several washers at once. A small hotel or inn sees its guests shower at the same hour before checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a medium-sized residential building, this volume is sometimes larger than needed; a smaller tank from the same series may be enough. It is the analysis of your peaks that decides, not the size of the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA volume that changes the system design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith large storage, hot water production can be spread over long hours rather than concentrated at the peak. In practice, this often makes it possible to use electric water heaters or an electric boiler of reasonable wattage relative to the building’s electrical service, while still delivering the peak without a temperature drop. A circulating pump, controlled by a thermostat on the tank, handles the exchange between the heating units and the reserve. A thermostatic mixing valve at the outlet keeps the stored water hot while delivering a safe temperature to showers and sinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanning the delivery of a 633 lb tank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3ST200R5A weighs 633 lb empty. Once filled, the load on the floor becomes considerable, and the slab must be able to carry it. Its 32 in diameter does not fit through every door, and its 77 in height requires checking the free height under the pipes and ducts of the mechanical room. We plan the delivery route, the handling equipment and the final position before ordering, taking into account the service space around the fittings and the drain valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTank construction and protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside is lined with \u003cstrong\u003eVitraglas with Microban\u003c\/strong\u003e and protected by \u003cstrong\u003etwo anode rods\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a tank this tall, two anodes spread the protection better than one. 2 in of CFC-free foam covers the sides and top, and Bradford White states that its storage tanks meet or exceed the ASHRAE 90.1b standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2 1\/2 in connections and working pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2 1\/2 in (64 mm) NPT water connections allow high flow rates to the building’s distribution system. The working pressure is 150 psi (1,034 kPa). We check the supply pressure, install a pressure-reducing valve when needed, and select a relief valve suited to the volume and configuration of the tank. A thermal expansion tank sized for the system completes the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintaining a large tank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne visit per year is a minimum for a tank of this volume: flushing sediment through the low-restriction brass valve, testing the relief valve, checking the fittings and the pump controls, and inspecting the anodes at regular intervals. In a building where hot water is essential, we schedule these visits outside peak hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White provides a \u003cstrong\u003e5-year limited tank warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e1-year limited parts warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation of the Bradford White M3ST200R5A tank by AirGreen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal and active in heating, ventilation and air conditioning for more than fifteen years.
