Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se analizom čeličnih spremnika za vodu kao ključnih dijelova
vodoopskrbnih sustava. Razmatra se njihova konstrukcija, funkcionalnost, održavanje, te
očuvanje kvalitete vode koju skladišti. Obuhvaćene su različite vrste spremnika, uključujući
spremnike na tlu i povišene spremnike. Opisuje tehnologije i procese koji se koriste u
njihovoj izgradnji, te materijale i metode primijenjene za osiguravanje dugotrajnosti i
otpornosti spremnika. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na zavarene čelične spremnike – opisuje
se proces njihove izgradnje od izrade čelika pa sve do montaže na terenu. Rad također
naglašava važnost pravilne cirkulacije vode, stabilizacije tlaka i očuvanja kvalitete vode u
vodoopskrbnim sustavima. Objašnjavaju se razne metode za predviđanje ponašanja tekućine
i tehnologije za udaljeno praćenje stanja spremnika. Zaključuje se da su vodotornjevi ključni
za očuvanje stabilnog tlaka u vodoopskrbnoj mreži, uz smanjenje troškova energije i
povećanje sigurnosti distribucije vode.

Abstract (english)

This paper focuses on the analysis of steel water tanks as key components of water
distribution systems. It examines their construction, functionality, maintenance, and the
preservation of the quality of stored water. Various types of tanks are covered, including
ground-level tanks and elevated tanks. The paper describes the technologies and processes
used in their construction, as well as the materials and methods applied to ensure the
durability and resilience of the tanks. Special emphasis is placed on welded steel tanks –
describing the process of their construction from steel production to on-site assembly. The
paper also highlights the importance of proper water circulation, pressure stabilization, and
maintaining water quality in water distribution systems. Various methods for predicting fluid
behavior and technologies for remote monitoring of tank conditions are explained. The
conclusion states that water towers are crucial for maintaining stable pressure in the water
supply network, reducing energy costs, and enhancing the safety of water distribution.
