I think I like the first design, its not as beautiful as the second design but will be very easy to maintain, repaint and even add new features as the years go by.

That second design looks very busy, and therefore might need more care for maintenance than the first.

Thanks for sharing.

Both are good.

I’m over the solid walls and prefer flow through for aesthetics.

My canines love it too because they get to see, and bark at, everything. So it’s a consideration.

Good evening to all Esteemed readers.. I would like some clarity on this tank decking on the roof..

Are there disadvantages to having ur tanks on the roof rather than on a seperate tank stand!


Which is more aesthetically pleasing? The tank hidden in the roof or the iron tank stand outside beside the building

In terms of costs.. Is the tank decking cheaper than making a tank stand
People construct slabs on roof for tanks so as to save costs. Most times we designs the slabs to be in less delicate part of the building, such as terrace, staircase area or balcony section.
It must be designed to be aesthetically pleasing.

Just do a stanchion jejely.

The inbuilt one requires maintenance which is almost never done. It then becomes a habitat for horticulture and animals.

KEY POINTS BETWEEN RELAY & SERVO STABILIZER

AVRs (Automatic Voltage Regulators) or Voltage stabilizers have become something of great importance to every family and business alike to help protect electrical equipment from irregular current coming in from the national power grid. These AVRs helps to regulate the voltage supplied from the national grid such that it will deliver the required amount of voltage required for the family or business equipment if the incoming voltage is within what the AVR can regulate.

The production of this Stabilizers started with the use of an electromagnetic relay system that helps in selecting the right part to adjust the incoming voltage. This method came with its own strength and weakness. Later, another method was designed with the use of electronic circuit for the adjustment purpose. This method also comes with its own strength and weakness.

The initial technology that is also used for the production of Stabilizer is called the relay technology while the other technology is called the servo.



Relay Voltage Stabilizers / AVRs (Automatic Voltage Regulators):
With the relay technology in stabilizer, the electronic circuit inside the stabilizer compares the output voltage with a reference value that has been provided and built-in to reference voltage source.

Anytime the incoming voltage goes higher or lower than normal, the control circuit switches in the Stabilizer switches to the corresponding relay to connect a desired tapping for the output voltage. The relay technology comes with a ±10 % output voltage accuracy.

This type of stabilizer is mostly used for low rating appliances in homes, offices and industries as they are of low weight and low cost.

However, this technology comes with certain limitations which includes low voltage correction speed, less durable, less reliable, among other issues in the stabilizer technology.

At the same time, researcher has developed a later technology for the stabilizer and this is called the servo controlled system. This technology attempts to resolve the accuracy of output and the delay time in the relay technology of stabilizers.



Servo Voltage Stabilizers:
The Servo voltage stabilizer consists of the servo motor, Buck Boost transformer (BBT) and Autotransformer among other elements. The voltage that comes out of the servo stabilizer is voltage across the Buck Boost transformer (BBT). One end of the primary BBT is connected to fixed tap of autotransformer and the other end is connected to the shaft of the servo motor.

Whenever the incoming voltage is too high or very low within the input range, the servo motor in this servo type of stabilizer moves across the autotransformer in such a way that the voltage induced across the secondary BBT is equals to set output voltage.

This type of stabilizer is called a servo stabilizer because it uses a servo motor to enable the voltage correction.

Servo voltage stabilizers have a rugged construction and can sustain high fluctuation and it is more durable. It is mainly used for high output voltage accuracy, usually ±1 % with input voltage changes up to ± 50 %.

If we compare servo stabilizers with relay type stabilizers we can find various advantages of servo voltage stabilizer such as higher correction speed, high precision of stabilized output, capable of withstanding inrush currents and most importantly the high reliability.

SERVO STABILIZER ! :

-Servo motor is used for controlling unit of voltage level.

-Level of protection is high.

-Servo motor has good step size resolution for correction of voltage.

-It will give balanced output which may be ±1% error.

-It is available for higher rating more than 1 KVA.

-This stabilizer can be used in the industries as well as at homes.

-Cost of servo motor is more than relay.

-This stabilizer is used in the communication line.

RELAY STABILIZER !


-Relay is used for controlling the voltage level.

-Relay has lower size of resolution.

-It will not give stabilized output with accuracy.

-It is for low rating.

-This stabilizer can be used at homes.

-Cost of relay is lesser than servo motor.

-Level of protection is low as compared to servo type.

-This Stabilizer is basically used in home or for small scale purpose.

How do you deal with your arthritis during the cold season. I am having a big dilemma in front of me.


There are lots of ways to handle arthritis....
One of the simplest is getting tumeric powder. You can add 2 table spoon in a tea cup of hot water (you can sieve it if need be) and add a sachet of powdered milk. One cup morning and evening. My mum uses a big tea cup though.

I’m very specific where I buy and sell land. I like hilltops with a view of valleys. A client wanted a land that a river runs through. I had to tactically remove myself from the deal.

By the way, my exposure to the American engineering culture has shown me that humans are only limited by their individual thinking. If you want it or like it, you can attain it. Handily. Only us Nigerians automatically out a monetary value to it.

Nice one.
To those who are familiar with PHC and Elekahia Estate. Those single storey buildings comprising of 6 flats(3 up/down)...you have aluminum light weight steel tank in the roof hidden. It can be accessed through a pigeon hole. It's height is probably at the 4 block level and capacity is about 1500 litres if I'm not mistaken. It serves both the flat up and the one beneath. So where you have 6 flats you have 3 tanks in each roof of the up apartment. Because It's was built by the Rivers State government then and people bought. I do not know of anyone who needed to do any serious maintenance on it but what I do know is that it's usage stopped when the State government water board facility was no longer sending water to the houses. That was the era of where steel pipes was used in households for water distribution.
