Solar expansion tank.

Expansion tanks are designed to safely absorb the excess water created and prevent relief valves from triggering. When water is heated it expands due to a phenomenon known as thermal expansion. The radiant extrol expansion tank is specifically designed for low temperature radiant flooring systems. Extrol expansion tanks accept expanded fluid in closed loop hydronic systems to control pressure buildup improve comfort and help reduce energy costs.

This ultimately protects it from damage. All therm x trol expansion tank. 15 250 f max diaphragm temp. If you have more questions about water heater expansion tanks please give us a call or fill out the form below.

Amtrol invented the thermal expansion tank to control pressure build up in closed hot water systems. 160 f max working pressure. The solar extrol expansion tank is. The solar expansion tanks has a rubber membrane which separates the solar liquid loop and the other side is filled with pressurized air.

Nearly seven decades after inventing the first diaphragm expansion tank amtrol s lineup now includes specialty models engineered for modern high efficiency systems. Amtrol st 5 thermal expansion tank from the manufacturer. 150 psi pre charge pressure. The excess water volume instead of causing too much pressure on the plumbing rushes into the expansion tank and lowers the pressure in the water heater to safer levels.

This helps keep the pressure consistent and relieve pressure from the piping as the working fluid increases in temperature. These tanks absorb thermally expanded water to keep the system pressure at safe levels then return that water to the system as the temperature cools. As the liquid heats up and expands the pressure of the system increase to an amount greater than the air pressure inside the expansion vessel and causes the membrane to take up more liquid to the air side. The expansion tank serves as a backup system to prevent overworking your plumbing.

This prevents the water heater pressure relief valve from opening saves energy and eliminates a potential safety hazard. 35 psi pre pressurized vertical solar water heater expansion tank 120 psi model r8019681s4000000 69 77 69 77. Should the solar system go into overheat mode and shut down the. Solar heating expansion tanks.

The red expansion tank is used for relieving pressure build up in the closed loop system. 35 psi pre pressurized vertical solar water heater expansion tank 120 psi model r8040681s4000000. We offer a range of expansion tanks for potable and non potable applications. A water heater expansion tank can often be replaced without having to replace your entire system.
