How to Size a Storage Tank Correctly

If you’re looking for a quick and reliable estimate of storage tank size, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve spent the last 20 years observing the issues faced by data centres and their chilled water systems, and we’ve come up with a simple formula to help you get an estimate of size before digging into the finer details.
