Hello Everyone,
I am protecting a horizontal sewage line with a dipping tube and I have some questions
1) Should the dipping tube tank base be on the ground level or can it be lowered sometimes for some reason?
2) when I tried to put it in the ground, I found during the simulation that the tank got empty -because the tank base is higher than the delivery point-and the gas volume continues increasing, is that acceptable?
3) the assigned initial gas volume--> should I calculate it using gas law, or it is assumed any value to get the pipeline protected?
I calculate it using P1V1=P2 V2
these are my calculations:
assume total volume== 5m3
compression chamber= 3 m3
P1V1= 10.33 *3
P2= HGL-pipe invert level+10.33
get Vi (initial volume)
assumed tank base = pipe invert +3
------------
4)when I lowered the tank--> I found the gas in tank is under negative pressure during simulation what could be the reason?
thanks in advance
