Gas holder for a private home - pros and cons, price, calculation, is it profitable?

In a series of articles we will talk about different types of gas holders. What dictates their design features, why they are needed at all and why they are chosen. We will not ignore the shortcomings either. Today we will talk about ground gas tanks.

The whole article is in 4 “ifs”

An external container helps out in “hopeless” situations. For example, if:

• problem area - high groundwater;
• the area is small - there is no room for a pit;
• installation is expensive - savings on excavation work.

In fact, the solution is only suitable for the European climate. In Russia, an above-ground gas tank will help if:

• Need temporary heating for the summer.

What is a gas tank?

The simplest and most economical way to heat a country house is not with electricity, but with the most common gas. But connecting directly to a centralized supply system for this type of fuel is not possible everywhere, and sometimes costs a lot of money. The time required to connect to such networks can sometimes be quite long; they depend on the remoteness of the highways, as well as on the complexity of the terrain where the house itself is located. Also, do not forget about the preparation of a number of documents - bureaucracy is thriving here. Sometimes, just because of the need to fill out the necessary papers, you have to wait for years for gas to arrive in the house.

Gas holder for a private home

In this case, the easiest way is to think about the possibility of autonomous gasification. One of the elements of such a system is a gas tank , which will allow you to have gas on your site without connecting to centralized systems and without serious red tape, and will also make it possible to always have gas in your home.

Liquefied gas from a gas tank is used for heating the house, heating water

A gas holder is a fairly capacious metal container designed for storing gaseous substances, mainly (in domestic terms) to save a mixture of butane and propane, that is, the same gas that is used to operate kitchen stoves and the heating system in the house. You can call a gas holder a large gas cylinder, from which it differs only in its very large dimensions and is installed once, regularly performing its task for many years. This “cylinder” does not even need to be taken to a gas station - just call a special gas station attendant who will come and fill the container with gaseous fuel.

The principle of operation of a gas holder in a private house

On a note! Special structures for gas storage appeared in Europe in the 19th century. True, gas was stored in them only on an industrial scale. Now such containers can be placed right next to the house.

The gas holder is usually made of high-quality steel with a thickness of at least 5.5 mm (this indicator is taken from GOST), treated with special compounds that prevent corrosion. Thus, the tank will last a very long time, about 20 years. The gas holder also has special sensors that will show how much gas is in it at the moment, what is the pressure in the cylinder. The equipment has a filling valve, a tank filling sensor and valves for connecting gas distribution. Thanks to a well-designed system, the gas holder is completely safe for home use.

The gas holder is completely safe for home use

The gas tank is always located outside the residential building, at a certain distance from it. Gas is supplied through laid pipelines to the house, where it is used to operate a heating boiler, gas furnace, etc. Typically, the gas tank is buried underground and does not even take up space on the site. It is capable of containing several thousand liters of gas liquefied under pressure of 6 atmospheres.

On a note! For a private home, a gas holder with a volume of five cubic meters is most often purchased. This volume is enough to heat a 150 m2 house all year round.

Dimensions of VPS gas tanks

Main components of the gasification project

Not every place on the site is suitable for installing a propane-butane tank. In order for all conditions to be met, it must have the appropriate dimensions. The main thing is that the tank needs free access, otherwise its refueling and maintenance becomes impossible.

When choosing a place for a gas tank, you should take into account that the gas tanker has a hose no more than 24 m long. In accordance with SNIP, you need to retreat about 2.5 m from the perimeter of your household, and if there is a source of water intake, then the norm provides a distance of 5 m to it

All communications can only be laid underground. The container itself should not be located under a driveway or other road.

The optimal distance from the road to the tank is 5 m. You should retreat at least 8 m from household buildings on your site. To the foundation of the house - 10 m, and from the neighbor's house - 20 m. The plate with the factory data should be in sight. Rules for choosing a location for a gas tank are given in the article devoted to this issue.

It is allowed for the installed tank to rise above the ground by a maximum of 0.6 m. It must be grounded, and if static voltage is present in the area, measures to protect against electrochemical corrosion are necessary.

In terms of autonomous gasification, it consists of a tank manufactured and passed all stages of testing in the factory, pressure regulators, protection, and a gas pipeline. The protection consists of magnesium electrodes located at a distance of about 0.35 m from the container. The purpose of the condensate collector is to collect liquid butane, which then evaporates on its own.

The gas pipeline is assembled from pressure polyethylene pipes. A gas pipeline is laid to the entrance to the house, mounted from metal pipes and equipped with a shut-off valve and a bellows-type compensator. The internal pipeline is equipped with thermal shut-off valves.

To immerse the gas tank, a pit is prepared, at the bottom of which a cushion of sand and gravel is arranged. Next, a monolithic base with a height of at least 160 mm is poured. Without this, the unit may be squeezed out of the pit by groundwater. Sometimes the tank is immediately fixed to a finished reinforced concrete slab, and then the whole thing is lowered into a pit.

After fastening the tank, it is coated with a special lubricant that protects the metal from corrosion. The next stage is the anodic-cathodic protection device. After this, the gas pipeline is laid and the pit and it are filled with soil.

Advantages and disadvantages

A gas holder is a convenient piece of equipment, the advantages of which have already been appreciated by many users. It boasts the following advantages of use:

• it is economically beneficial (gas heating costs are low);
• gas is an environmentally friendly type of fuel (does not leave behind combustion products);
• The home gas supply system operates silently;
• servicing a gas tank is relatively cheap;
• Often you won’t have to fill the tank with gas if the volume is correctly calculated;
• gas tank - safe equipment;
• it is usually located underground and does not take up free space on the site (you can even organize a garden on top of the gas holder).

A gas holder for a private home allows you to supply gas to any room

The gas holder also has disadvantages of use. So, installing the tank itself is still quite expensive, but you will have to spend more money on supplying gas to the house. A gas tank is expensive, but the costs pay off very quickly. It is also important to understand that the equipment must be installed correctly, otherwise it will not be safe for the user. So it is better to entrust all the work to specialists. It is also important to understand that it is not easy to find high-quality certified fuel to fill your tank in all regions.

Horizontal underground gas tanks

Important! You should not buy a used gas tank. This is due to the fact that used equipment does not exclude the possibility of gas leakage.

Principle of operation

The main task of a gas tank is to accumulate liquefied gas under high pressure. If there is empty space in the container, an air-gas mixture is formed. It is propane-butane fuel for hot water boilers and other devices. The gas tank and gas consuming devices are connected to each other by a gas pipeline.

To ensure effective natural evaporation of LPG, it is recommended to follow the following rules:

1. The gas tank is filled with liquefied petroleum gas to a maximum of 85%.
2. An above-ground or underground vessel must not be allowed to cool below 0°. In most cases, surface tanks are additionally insulated.
3. It is necessary to take care of the auxiliary evaporator system if a vertical gas tank is installed, which is characterized by a small area for evaporation of liquefied gas.

The principle of operation of a gas tank is the same as that of a main gas pipeline. Filling a sealed container for LPG is carried out by specialists who deliver liquefied gas at gas stations. The operation of filling containers with “blue fuel” is carried out in the same way as the refueling process of a vehicle at a gas filling station.

Selecting a gas tank: types of equipment

Gas tanks can be divided into several types depending on how and where they are installed. So, the equipment can be both underground and aboveground , and the first option is much more popular than the second, since it will not interfere with the site and freeze. The underground tank is installed underground so that the layer of soil above it is at least 60 cm. Otherwise, there is a risk of freezing of the equipment or the possibility of causing mechanical damage to the cylinder. You can easily install a tank with a volume of 1.5-10 thousand liters underground, which will not even be noticeable. Only the neck remains on the surface, and this is the main advantage of such models.

Underground gas tank

Aboveground gas tanks can also be large, but they will definitely spoil the appearance of the site, and therefore are usually small. However, in some cases the installation of such equipment is justified - for example, when for some reason the tank cannot be installed underground, but you want to have an autonomous gas supply system. An above-ground tank must be able to withstand high temperatures because it may be exposed to direct sunlight. But it is still recommended to keep the equipment out of harm’s way.

On a note! If you plan to install an above-ground gas tank, but large volumes of gas are needed, then the easiest way is to install several cylinders of modest size and connect them together into a single system.

Aboveground gas tank

Gas tanks are not only stationary, but also mobile. True, their volumes are small (only 500-700 liters). But such a tank can be transported by a regular car and even taken to a gas station yourself. Usually used in dachas or where people live temporarily. Gas holders can also be vertical or horizontal.

Table. Types of gas tanks by design.

Scheme of using a gas holder

You can also divide gas tanks into two types depending on the type of neck:

• high neck (Russian standard);
• without neck (euro).

Equipment without a neck is cheaper, but abandoning it is not always justified. The presence of a neck will allow you to install the platform with the reinforcement as high as possible, which will protect it from moisture. If water gets into the reducer, the gas supply will be stopped. There are also gas tanks without a neck, but their fittings are located on high tubes, and you don’t have to worry about water getting into them.

What is a gas tank?

The general principle of a household gas storage system is the same as that of a bottled gas system: somewhere outside the house a metal container with liquefied gas is placed, from which fuel in a gaseous state is supplied to the house through a gas pipeline. The difference is in size: if the capacity of household gas cylinders is usually measured in liters or tens of liters, then the volume of household storage is several cubic meters (thousands of liters), liquefied gas under a pressure of 6 atm. The most popular volume of a household gas tank (it’s not entirely correct to call the tank that way, but the name stuck) is five cubic meters (4.85 m³).

Gas from the gas tank is supplied to the house according to the same rules as from the gas main - underground. Photo: “Terricom”

This volume allows for year-round heating (as well as hot water supply and cooking) for a house with an area of ​​approximately 150 m². For small houses (less than 100 m²), gas tanks with a volume of 2–3 m³ are used, and for large mansions, respectively, larger models, up to 20 m³, several gas tanks or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) evaporation units.

The underground option for placing gas tanks seems to many to be not only safer, but also aesthetically attractive: the gas tank will not clutter up your site. Photo: Russian Gas

Containers/reservoirs (gas holders) are made of steel sheet with a thickness of at least 5.5 mm (according to GOST requirements) and are covered with protective coatings on the outside and inside. All this ensures a service life of the devices of at least 20 years, and all models of gas tanks approved for sale in Russia must meet this requirement. The quality (grade) of steel, special protective coating - these are the main differences between Russian and European tanks. At domestic factories, due to the high cost of equipment and sometimes the impossibility of purchasing imported special coatings, rarely does anyone use the latest compositions and technologies for their application, which reduces the service life of the tank if additional elements are not installed.

How to install a gas tank?

Gas tanks are buried in the ground at a certain distance from the house (SNIP requires 10 m, but in some cases the distance can be reduced to 5 m). In Europe, ground-mounted gas tanks are more often used. This design turns out to be cheaper (you don’t have to pay for excavation work), but it is not widespread in Russia.

Firstly, due to stricter regulations. Thus, in Europe, above-ground gas tanks are placed almost close to houses and cottages, but in Russia this is prohibited. In our country, the distance to a ground gas tank, according to SNIP, should be 20 m, the minimum distance to trees is 10 m, not 5 m, etc. As a result of such restrictions, there is simply no room for a ground tank in a small area.

Secondly, in Europe pure propane is used as fuel, while in our country we use a propane-butane mixture of LPG (70/30, 50/50), which at low temperatures (and under pressure) will not evaporate and pass into the gaseous phase. Therefore, to operate in winter, such a gas tank will have to be equipped with a special evaporation unit. It is not always possible to find a place suitable according to GOST, but this does not stop the most ardent supporters of autonomous gasification, and sometimes the gas tank is installed with violations. So far, such violators have managed to avoid responsibility; at present, the state of the autonomous gas industry does not have such strict supervision as, for example, is carried out over main gas pipelines. But the situation may one day change dramatically, and then the violators will have serious problems.

The cost of the equipment and its turnkey installation depends on the size of the tank, the volume of excavation work, additional options and, as usual in a market economy, on the implementation of your additional wishes. As for the differences in equipment brands, there is currently no such price difference between domestic and imported products as, say, between gas boilers. On average, for autonomous gasification with a tank of 4.8 m³, owners will have to pay 200–250 thousand rubles.

Are gas holders safe?

For many of our citizens, the proximity to a gas reservoir seems dangerous. But in fact, the danger is exaggerated. The gas is stored in the tank without access to air at a pressure of 5–6 atm, and air cannot get there in any way. And if depressurization occurs, an explosion will still not occur, since the gas will be released into the atmosphere, where it will dissipate to a safe concentration. This is why the gas holder should not be placed indoors - so that gas does not accumulate in the event of a leak. In addition, a safety valve is installed in the gas tank, which relieves excess pressure if for one reason or another the tank heats up.

Which gas holders to choose: horizontal or vertical?

Structurally, all household gas tanks can be divided into models of horizontal or vertical arrangement of the container. Horizontal ones are easier to install (from the point of view of excavation work), but take up more space, which can be critical for small areas. Vertical ones are more convenient in this regard. In addition, they are deeper, so the liquefied gas is cooled less, which is necessary for its normal supply (the temperature must be above zero). Otherwise, the rate of evaporation of liquid gas inside the container decreases sharply, and the fuel begins to flow into the heating system in insufficient quantities.

Household gas tanks are tanks, in the upper part of which there is a platform (flange) with fittings placed on it (filling valve, liquid and vapor phase selection valves, reducer, safety valve). The platform is covered on all sides with a protective cap, but it is not hermetically sealed. There is a gap at the bottom for ventilation and should not be closed. The platform and cap can be raised above the tank on the neck - part of the tank made in the form of a cylinder located vertically.

Option for installing a horizontal gas tank

There are gas tanks with a high neck (the so-called Russian standard) and without it (European standard). Eliminating the neck reduces the cost of the design by about 30–50 thousand rubles. But you don’t always need to save on it. The fact is that the presence of such a neck allows the platform with reinforcement to be placed higher than without it. This makes it possible to better protect the reinforcement from the ingress of soil moisture, especially when the groundwater level is high or when there is high water. If water gets into the reducer, it will stop the gas supply. Among the latest technical innovations, we can note gas tanks, in which there is no expensive component - the neck; instead, all the fittings are placed on high tubes. Outside, the “forest” of them is covered with a metal cap. It turns out cheaper, but safety measures are observed, since the height of the pipes allows you to place all the fittings above the flood zone.

The protective cap is buried in such a way that air access to the location of the fittings is ensured, but at the same time, water does not enter from the surface of the earth and from groundwater located close to the surface of the earth (overwater). Photo: Russian Gas

How to prevent gas from freezing?

The tank is installed in a pit prepared for it. A sand and gravel cushion 30–50 cm thick is constructed at the bottom, compacted and leveled. A concrete slab is placed on it, to which the gas tank is attached with metal cables so that when the groundwater level is high, the container does not float up. The top point of the tank must be at least 60 cm below ground level. The gas pipeline is connected through a reducer, which, like the filling valve, liquid and vapor phase selection valves, and safety valve, is a necessary device for the operation of the gas tank. From the gas reservoir to the house, the gas pipeline is laid underground, the pipe is located at a depth below the freezing level of the ground. Devices that are desirable, but not required, include a separator for gas condensate. This device is placed on the gas pipeline before it is connected to the gas boiler at its lowest point in the ground.

Winter is the best time to install a gas tank: the workload of builders is reduced, and you don’t have to wait for a team of specialists to become available. Photo: ShutterStock/Fotodom.ru

Another optional device is a telemetry system, which allows remote online monitoring of the condition of the gas tank and the degree of filling of the tank. Telemetry, of course, increases the level of comfort, and you don’t mind paying 10–15 thousand rubles for it, and in some cases you can get it for free. Some gas tank installers provide this service. They do not lose money - the systems they offer duplicate information, so if the installer of gas tanks provides services for filling tanks, then it turns out that he can always offer fuel to the owner in a timely manner. And if you consider that the price of liquefied gas is 14–17 rubles. per liter, just a few refilling cycles are enough to completely recoup the cost of the electronics.

WHY DO YOU NEED A GAS SEPARATOR?

A gas separator, or condensate collector, is used to collect liquid gas condensate, which, under certain circumstances, can end up in your home gas pipeline (the probability of this is small, but still not zero). If such condensate gets into the burner or onto the stove burner, it will detonate. At best, there will be a loud bang, and at worst, equipment may be damaged.

How to avoid scandals with neighbors?

If the gas holder cannot be fit into the site without violations, experts advise first of all to ensure that the interests of the neighbors are respected. This makes it easier to avoid scandals. After all, you won’t sue yourself if the gas tank is too close to your house or fence? But the neighbors are another matter.

In all my many years of activity, I have not come across new (factory-made) gas tanks certified in accordance with GOST and at the same time unsuitable for use. Therefore, first of all, choose someone who will install your gas tank. In most cases, only real experience helps to correctly recommend the volume, type and manufacturer of a gas tank specifically for your situation, and the engineer will not hide the features of different manufacturers, because he will have to guarantee the operation of their products. As for the tanks themselves, I never recommend used or so-called refurbished gas tanks (they are often passed off as new, and this market only developed just a couple of years ago). Resellers often get such tanks for next to nothing. But the condition of these containers is unknown, no one seriously examines them. And in this case, the result is not even a lottery, but a constant potential danger for yourself and others, then it is better to choose a completely different solution.

Select the volume and calculate the costs

To choose the right gas tank, it is important to decide what volume it should be. This figure can be calculated taking into account gas consumption per 1 m2 of living space. In warm regions, consumption per 1 m2 averages 25-30 m3, and where it is cold - at least 35 m3. The need for gas can be calculated as accurately as possible by focusing on the power of the heating boiler - about 100 liters of fuel are consumed per 1 kW per year. You can also calculate the volume of the container in another way: if cylinders were used, then you need to estimate how many of them were spent per month and multiply the resulting number by 12.

How to position the gas tank correctly

Important! It is worth understanding that the cylinder is not 100% filled with gas. Approximately 15% of the volume must be free to allow gas to expand when heated.

The market for such equipment offers tanks of various volumes - from 2 to 10 thousand liters. It is important to choose a container that will need to be refilled no more than twice a year. For example, for a building with an area of ​​100 m2, a gas holder with a capacity of 2700 liters is sufficient . A tank with a volume of 10 thousand liters is suitable for a house of 300 m2.

Table of the ratio of the heated area and the optimal volume of the gas holder

The cost of gas is low, but it is important to understand that when refueling equipment you will have to immediately pay for a large volume. So, in the spring, gas costs less (about 15 rubles per liter), in the winter it gets a little more expensive - up to 20 rubles, because the demand for it grows at this time of year. That is, to refill a 4800 liter gas tank you will have to spend at least 58,000 rubles. in spring, and in winter - all 80,000 rubles.

Advice! If possible, it is better to choose a gas tank in such a way that you do not need to fill it often and fill it during the period when gas is the cheapest.

How else can you choose the volume of a gas tank?

The operating temperature range for the equipment is -40 – +40 degrees. But for a reservoir that will be located underground, these data are not critical - such indicators are not found in the ground. But if the system is installed incorrectly in winter, the gas supply may stop (this is due to freezing of the communications supplying gas to the house).

When to use a ground gas tank: real benefits

External containers have a volume of 600-2,750 liters. A common story is a 1000 liter gas tank. If the tank is actually filled to 85%, you will get 850 liters of fuel.

An excellent temporary solution for a summer cottage. Instead of fiddling with cylinders or worrying about theft of a mobile version on a trailer. And an illogical choice for family accommodation during the heating season.

Calculate yourself

For a house of 100 sq. m uses 317 liters of liquefied gas per month. With a capacity of 1 cubic meter, you need to call a refiller once every 2 months. Plus winter expenses for electricity for heating propane-butane.

Underground capacity 2.7 cubic meters per 100 sq. m is enough for 7 months. In actual volume, this is 2,295 liters of fuel, that is, 1 refueling for the heating season.

Typical scenario: in a year or two you will have a highway installed. While waiting for cheap gas, you can burn with liquefied gas. There is already a gas boiler, you just need to convert it to propane-butane.

We wanted to analyze this scenario hypothetically, but we found a life story on the ForumHouse forum. The owners of the site expected gas to be installed in a year and were looking for a temporary source of gas supply:

• An underground gas tank is “not economically feasible.”
• Cylinders - “sadomasochism” for a house of 250 square meters. m.
• Ground for rent - “will it not evaporate ineffectively in winter.”

In the end, it turned out that it was easier to bury an underground container for this period. The bottom line is that an above-ground tank is guaranteed to freeze. But heating it with electricity is expensive and difficult.

Quote from user pushkan from the ForumHouse forum

Plus, at Termo Life you can hand over your gas tank after connecting the main line. Or leave it as a backup gas supply option.

Installation of equipment: rules and regulations

It is necessary to install a gas tank in accordance with certain norms and rules. Thus, an underground type container must be located at a distance from a residential building (at least 10-12 m, according to SNiP - at least 10 m) and must be in stable soil. It is also prohibited to allow any utility lines to be located near the gas tank.

Do not use used, homemade or other containers that do not meet the standards.

Ground gas tanks should be installed in the shade at a distance of about 2-3 m from the border of the territory and at least 20 m from the house itself (according to SNiP). Trees should be no closer than 10 m. There should also be a well with water located not far from the equipment (no more than 15 m). It is important to understand that in winter, an above-ground gas tank in Russia will not work due to harsh climatic conditions, and you need to buy and install a special evaporator.

Gasification at home

If all installation rules are followed, gas tanks do not pose any danger to residents of the house and users of the equipment. The gas inside is stored without air access, and if the cylinder depressurizes, no explosion will still occur - the gas will simply escape into the atmosphere and dissipate. By the way, one of the safety measures is the location of the tank outdoors and not indoors. This is necessary in case a fuel leak does occur. Gas accumulation may occur in the room. And to avoid excess pressure, the gas tank is equipped with a special safety valve, which, if necessary, will simply release excess pressure (for example, in the case of gas heating).

Alternative options

Cost of gas tanks and installation work

During the autonomous gasification of suburban housing, every homeowner is interested in how much it costs to install a gas tank. Basically, the costs of the owner of a private territory depend on the volume of the installed gas tank. Larger tanks cost more than smaller vessels. However, choosing the latter vessels is not always justified, since they will have to be refilled more often. This leads to additional costs. That is why it is necessary to always calculate the required volume of a gas tank for a specific facility before purchasing.

The exact costs of installing the purchased equipment will be calculated by employees of a specialized company. The cost of installing a gas tank is affected by the distance of the private territory from the city, the volume and type of vessel. The price of installation work also includes transportation costs, costs for consumables, laying a gas pipeline between the house and the LPG tank, creating a trench and pit.

Gas tank installation

The installation of a gas tank itself is not difficult; its connection itself will cause more complications. That is why it is important to entrust the work to professionals. But in general, you can try to understand the system on your own. However, you can definitely do the installation of the tank yourself.

Step 1. First of all, you need to dig a pit suitable for the size of the gas holder. Before installing the gas pipeline, it is important to lay a warning tape that has an indelible inscription indicating the presence of gas.

First you need to dig a pit

Step 2. Next, you need to arrange a gravel bed by pouring gravel onto the bottom of the pit. It is also important to take care of creating a concrete base - it can be poured, or you can simply lay a concrete slab on the bottom of the pit.

Step 3. After this, it is enough to lower the gas tank itself to the bottom of the pit and be sure to secure it with metal pins and cables.
