How to Choose the Right Pressure Tank for Grundfos SQE Pumps
Selecting the right pressure tank for your Grundfos SQE pump is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your water system. The SQE series pumps are known for their efficiency and advanced features, but choosing the appropriate pressure tank can enhance their effectiveness even further. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to select the right pressure tank for your SQE pump. Understanding Your Pump’s Requirements
Before you decide on a pressure tank, it’s important to understand the operating parameters of your SQE pump. These parameters include:
Minimum Pressure (pmin): This is the required minimum pressure at the highest tap point in your system plus head and friction losses. Calculate this based on where your water exits the system. Cut-in and Cut-out Pressures:
Cut-in pressure (pcut-in): The pressure at which the pump starts operating. Cut-out pressure (pcut-out): The pressure at which the pump stops working after the tank has been filled. Flow Rate at Minimum Pressure (Qmax): This is the maximum flow you require when the pressure is at its minimum.

You can derive Qmax from the performance curves for the pump. Using the Right Pressure Tank Size
Once you have the pmin and Qmax specified, you can start selecting your pressure tank. Here are the steps you should follow:
Determine Pressure Tank Size: Refer to a table that lists various tank sizes based on your calculated pmin and Qmax. If no minimum pressure is required, an 18-liter pressure tank is generally sufficient for all SQ pumps. Precharge Pressure: For the pressure tank, set the precharge pressure higher than the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch. This helps ensure that the system can deliver the required water pressure effectively. Tank Selection Guidelines:
Tanks are often rated in liters, and the selected tank should be large enough to accommodate both the pressure requirements and any future expansion. If the maximum pressure of your pump is higher than the cut-out pressure (pcut-out), ensure the tank you choose can handle that amount. For most SQE applications, the recommended minimum sizes and precharge pressures are listed in tank sizing tables found in Grundfos manuals.

Example Calculation
Suppose you’ve determined the following parameters for your SQE pump:
pmin: 45 m
Qmax: 2.5 m³/h
From your lookup table, you find that for these values, the minimum size of the pressure tank is 33 liters. Precharge Pressure (ppre): If your cut-in pressure is 1.5 bar, you might choose a precharge of 2.0 bar for the tank. Cut-In Pressure (pcut-in): Based on your setup, this might be set to 46 m for efficient operation. Selecting tanks beyond the minimum requirement is usually advisable as it allows for better performance and longer pump life. Practical Tips for Installation
Location: Ensure the tank is located close to the pump to minimize pressure loss in the piping. Support and Stability: Tanks must be properly anchored and supported to prevent movement, particularly if they are large. Regular Maintenance: Check your pressure tank regularly to ensure the precharge pressure is maintained and look for any signs of wear or damage. Consult Documentation: Always refer to the installation and operating instructions provided by Grundfos for the specific SQE model you are using, and get in touch with professional installers when in doubt.
Conclusión
Elegir el tanque de presión adecuado para tu bomba Grundfos SQE no se trata solo de encontrar el tamaño correcto. Lo importante es asegurarte de que la presión y el caudal se ajusten a lo que realmente necesitas para que todo funcione bien.
Tomarte un momento para evaluar bien tus requerimientos y optar por un tanque que encaje justo puede marcar la diferencia en la eficiencia y la vida útil de tu sistema de agua.
Y si en algún momento te queda alguna duda, no dudes en consultar con un instalador profesional o revisar los recursos que ofrece Grundfos; siempre es mejor tener una segunda opinión que arriesgarte a un error.
