RE: Heating to a Large Storage Tank
I think that what MintJulep is trying to say is, if you want more help, we need a lot more information, such as the size and shape of the tank, what kind of heating media you have available (hot oil, steam, etc), temperature or pressure of media, and possibly what is your maximum expected heat load at the minimum ambient temperature. Is the tank insulated?
