Hydronicexpansion tanksizing calculator

A minimum volume (10% ~ 20%) is considered in expansion tank at start-up in cold conditions. As heating is started volume expands and tank sizing should be such that expanded volume fills (70% ~ 80%) of tank volume.

Expansion tanks are important to the operation of heat transfer systems. They are designed to account for the volumetric expansion of heat transfer fluids as a result of temperature increase. Expansion tanks also remove moisture, non-condensables, degradation by-products and entrained air during startup and operation.

A. If you suspect backflow contamination in your water system, immediately shut off the water supply to prevent further contamination and potential health risks.

A. Regular visual inspections can help identify any visible signs of damage or malfunction, such as leaks, corrosion or debris accumulation. Additionally, annual testing by a certified professional is essential to ensure proper operation and compliance with safety standards.

In this article, we present the sizing of an expansion tank using Relatherm HT-1, a high flash heat transfer fluid as an example.

Size an horizontal expansion tank for hot oil system using Relatherm HT-1 as Heat Transfer Fluid. The fluid is heated from 30 °C to 330 °C. System hot oil volume is 7.87 m³. Assume L/D to be used as 2.5. Thermal fluid density is 861.91 Kg/m³ at 30 °C and 752.17 Kg/m³ at 330 °C.

Apollo Valves 4ALF203A2F reduced pressure zone backflow preventer protects water supplies from contamination. It prevents the reverse flow of potentially harmful substances into the clean water system. This valve is useful in healthcare facilities, chemical processing plants and food manufacturing facilities to prevent the backflow of pollutants, chemicals or pathogens into their water systems.

A. Routine maintenance tasks include cleaning and lubricating valves, inspecting for leaks or damage, testing pressure levels and replacing worn-out parts as needed. For more information, check out our comprehensive guide on backflow preventers.

A. Without an RPZ backflow preventer, there is a risk of contamination of clean water supplies, which can lead to serious health hazards, legal liabilities and damage to equipment and infrastructure.
