# Industrial Specification: Water Collection Tank

## 1. Technical Definition
A container that collects and stores condensed water extracted from air by a dehumidifier.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1.5 bar (gauge pressure)**. Failure boundary: **2.0 bar internal pressure causing permanent plastic deformation in HDPE material**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) at 23°C: σ_y = 26 MPa, with wall thickness of 3 mm causing hoop stress σ_θ = (P·D)/(2t) exceeding material limit**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
| t | Wall Thickness | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Continuous operation below 5°C ambient temperature causing water freezing expansion | 8 | Tank wall fracture due to 9% volumetric expansion of ice (ρ_ice = 917 kg/m³ vs ρ_water = 1000 kg/m³) | Integrated PTC heating element maintaining tank temperature at 8°C minimum with 50W thermal output |
| Chloride ion concentration exceeding 250 ppm in condensed water from coastal air intake | 8 | Stress corrosion cracking in polypropylene fittings at 60°C operating temperature | 316L stainless steel fittings with 3.5% molybdenum content for chloride resistance |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this water collection tank?
**A**: This tank is constructed from durable Polypropylene (PP) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), providing chemical resistance and structural integrity for industrial environments.

### Q: How does the float switch prevent overflow?
**A**: The integrated float switch automatically triggers the dehumidifier to shut off when the tank reaches capacity, preventing water overflow and potential equipment damage.

### Q: Is this tank compatible with industrial dehumidifiers?
**A**: Yes, this water collection tank is specifically designed for industrial dehumidifiers used in electrical equipment manufacturing, with standard drain outlets for easy integration.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- DIN 1988-100 - TECHNICAL RULES FOR DRINKING WATER INSTALLATIONS
