Abstract

This article describes the process of design and construction of a storage tank hot water (DHW) for domestic consumption is presented. In addition, mathematical analysis is described, the selection of materials for both insulation and the body of the tank, hydrostatic simulation behavior, the construction process based on ASME Section VIII and testing operation. This work is part of a research project aimed at designing and construction of solar heaters from reusable materials by the hotbed of research SEA belonging to the group of alternative energy research GIEAUD District University of Francisco José de Caldas. The solar heater and the tank are mounted on the roof of the gym located in the Faculty of Technology. Tests were performed to evaluate the efficiency in maintenance of the temperature and currently continues with additional tests to better observe the performance of the tank.
