Solar Expansion Tank

A water heater expansion tank can often be replaced without having to replace your entire system.

Solar expansion tank.

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. Set your store to see local availability add to cart. 150 psi pre charge pressure. 35 psi max percentage of glycol.

All therm x trol expansion tank. The radiant extrol expansion tank is specifically designed for low temperature radiant flooring systems. 15 250 f max diaphragm temp. This ultimately protects it from damage.

The solar expansion tanks has a rubber membrane which separates the solar liquid loop and the other side is filled with pressurized air. Expansion tanks are designed to safely absorb the excess water created and prevent relief valves from triggering. Solar system expansion tanks with straight thread. This helps keep the pressure consistent and relieve pressure from the piping as the working fluid increases in temperature.

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. If you have more questions about water heater expansion tanks please give us a call or fill out the form below. The red expansion tank is used for relieving pressure build up in the closed loop system. Nearly seven decades after inventing the first diaphragm expansion tank amtrol s lineup now includes specialty models engineered for modern high efficiency systems.

35 psi pre pressurized vertical solar water heater expansion tank 120 psi model r8019681s4000000 69 77 69 77. When water is heated it expands due to a phenomenon known as thermal expansion. This prevents the water heater pressure relief valve from opening saves energy and eliminates a potential safety hazard. Amtrol st 5 thermal expansion tank from the manufacturer.

What size expansion tank do i need. 160 f max working pressure. The solar extrol expansion tank is. Should the solar system go into overheat mode and shut down the.

Solar heating expansion tanks. Amtrol invented the thermal expansion tank to control pressure build up in closed hot water systems. If you have more questions about water heater expansion tanks please give us a call or fill out the form below. Expansion tanks are essential for solar water heater systems.

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. We offer a range of expansion tanks for potable and non potable applications.
