Say your valve is set at 20 PSI, and the boiler is cold, and dropped to 18 PSI. The valve adds water until it's 20 PSI. Now the boiler fires up and becomes hot, and the pressure rises, because water expands as it heats (unless you are very close to freezing, where water is "interesting".) The bubble of air in the expansion tank compresses, so rather than the boiler and pipes quickly rising above 30 PSI and engaging the overpressure release valve, the air in compressed as the water expands and the pressure rises to some value less than 30, if the system is designed and sized correctly. Your boiler runs for a while, and then shuts down and starts to cool - the air in the expansion tank expands as the water in the boiler and pipes cools & shrinks, and if there are no leaks, the system ends up back at 20 PSI (at the boiler - less, the higher you are in the building) and no new water needs to be added.

The Rada Outlook concealed digital thermostatic mixing valve and a sensor is a concealed TMV, it includes a Sensor box for washbasin use and/or showering.

The reducing valve (what I call an autofill valve) adds water to the boiler loop when boiler pressure falls below its setpoint. It does not remove water when its setpoint is exceeded - it only puts water in. For a typical 3 story building, pressure should be 18-25 PSI (1 PSI = 2.3 feet of head of water, roughly. So 18 PSI should vent up to 41 feet above. If your gauge is accurate, you're closer to 53 feet up at 23 PSI. 25 psi will push to 57.5 feet.)

The expansion tank (if intact) has a bladder or diaphragm keeping a bubble of air (which acts like a spring) separate from the system water (so the air does not dissolve into it and end up elsewhere, needing to be bled out and rusting iron/steel parts.)

“The children of today will make all the discoveries of tomorrow… The future generation must not only know how to do what we can teach them, they must be able to go a step further”.

At Sydney Early Education Centres, we believe that children are young citizens deserving of respect and understanding. We foster an environment that values their opinions and includes them in decisions that affect their world. Creating spaces where they can have their voice heard and thrive.

As we learn, play, and grow on this land, we honour the stories, traditions, and contributions of the First Nations peoples. We commit ourselves to fostering a spirit of reconciliation and appreciation for the history and heritage that shape this place.

We are committed to providing high-quality early learning opportunities for your children. Our early childhood programs are continuously evolving as we stay at the forefront of the latest research and best practices in early childhood education. We embrace the uniqueness of each child, and our teaching methods and award-winning environments promote each child’s health, well-being, and desire to be a life-long learner.

How do the expansion tank and automatic fill / reducing valve work together in a hot water heating system? It seems to me that if the expansion tank is charged too high the autofill valve will never be able to autofill the system, whereas if it is charged too lowr, the reducing valve will determine the system pressure. Is that how it's supposed to work? The expansion tank does not determine system pressure, but it should accept the pressure determined by the reducing valve? I don’t really understand how they are meant to work as a system or how to test and maintain it in place.

The "Pre-charge" pressure on the expansion tank is typically just a little bit less than you expect the lowest acceptable boiler pressure to be, so that there's a little bit of water in it at lowest pressure, but room for more as the system heats and pressure rises. If the "Pre-charge" pressure is too high, no water is stored at lower pressures, and the system pressure will drop below fill pressure when the tank is fully empty but system pressure continues to fall as it cools. If the "Pre-charge" pressure is too low, lots of water is stored at low pressures, leaving less room for adding water and compressing air at higher pressures, effectively reducing the size of the tank, and possibly leading to operation of the relief valve as pressure rises too high when heating and expanding system water.
