Structured Manufacturing Data (2026)

Water Collection Tank

Based on aggregated insights from structured factory profiles within the CNFX directory, the standard Water Collection Tank used in the Electrical Equipment Manufacturing sector typically supports operational capacities ranging from standard industrial configurations to heavy-duty production requirements.

Technical Definition & Core Assembly

A canonical Water Collection Tank is characterized by the integration of Tank Body and Lid/Cover. In industrial production environments, manufacturers listed on CNFX commonly emphasize Polypropylene (PP) construction to support stable, high-cycle operation across diverse manufacturing scenarios.

A container that collects and stores condensed water extracted from air by a dehumidifier.

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Water Collection Tank

Definition
The water collection tank is an essential component of a dehumidifier that serves as a reservoir for the moisture removed from the air during the dehumidification process. It collects the water condensed from the air by the cooling coils and stores it until manually emptied or automatically drained.
Working Principle
As moist air passes through the dehumidifier's cooling coils, water vapor condenses into liquid water due to temperature reduction. This condensed water drips down from the coils into the water collection tank below, where it accumulates until the tank reaches capacity or is emptied.
Common Materials
Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Corrosion-induced leakage
Cause: Chemical attack from stored water (e.g., chlorides, pH imbalance) or atmospheric exposure, leading to material degradation and perforation, especially at weld seams and bottom plates.
Structural fatigue cracking
Cause: Cyclic loading from water level fluctuations, thermal expansion/contraction, or vibration from connected piping, causing stress concentration at joints or supports.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Visible rust streaks, weeping, or pitting on tank walls, particularly near welds or the waterline.
  • Unusual audible creaking, groaning, or cracking noises during filling/draining cycles, indicating stress or movement.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement routine internal/external coating inspections and cathodic protection for metallic tanks to combat corrosion; use non-corrosive materials (e.g., fiberglass, lined steel) in aggressive environments.
  • Install overflow/level controls to minimize water level swings, add flexible connections to piping to reduce stress, and conduct periodic ultrasonic thickness testing to monitor wall integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in this water collection tank?

This tank is constructed from durable Polypropylene (PP) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), providing chemical resistance and structural integrity for industrial environments.

How does the float switch prevent overflow?

The integrated float switch automatically triggers the dehumidifier to shut off when the tank reaches capacity, preventing water overflow and potential equipment damage.

Is this tank compatible with industrial dehumidifiers?

Yes, this water collection tank is specifically designed for industrial dehumidifiers used in electrical equipment manufacturing, with standard drain outlets for easy integration.

Can I contact factories directly on CNFX?

CNFX is an open directory, not a transaction platform. Each factory profile provides direct contact information and production details to help you initiate direct inquiries with Chinese suppliers.
