  • PRESSURE TANK SYSTEM WITH HEAT CONDUCTING LAYER
    Publication number: 20080066805
    Abstract: A pressure tank system including a pressure release valve that releases pressure in the tank if the valve exceeds a predetermined temperature. In order for the pressure release valve to be effective, it must detect heat at all areas of the tank system. The tank system includes a heat conducting device for transferring heat from anywhere on the tank system to the pressure release valve. In one embodiment, the heat conducting device is a heat conducting mesh that is wrapped around and outside of the pressure tank. In another embodiment, the heat conducting device is an aluminum sheet wrapped around the tank. In another embodiment, the heat conducting device includes heat conducting strips that extend along the tank and are connected to the pressure release valve.
