Expansion Tanks

Managed compressors automatic expansion of the system.

Expansion Tanks come in horizontal and vertical. Immediately it should be noted that the most appropriate location of the tank is such in which the expansion tank when filling it with liquid is loaded symmetrically, and then there is no additional tensile loads, which may be one reason for breaking the expansion tank. If the damage of the expansion tank of its replacement is made through the flange, fixed with a few bolts. When large amounts of the expansion tank Extrol Amtrol of this type is fixed to the rear end through the nipple fitting to stabilize the fill.

Designed for use in very large systems. The fact is that in large systems can be traced serious lack of expansion tanks – their dimensions. The average tank is filled with liquid only at 30-60%, with lower values fall just on tanks of large volumes.

Practically, this means that on large sites where the estimated quantities of tanks, several thousand liters, seriously raises the issue of their placement. Therefore, for large  special installations to maintain pressure. They represent a free-flow expansion tank and a node control the pressure on pumps. With increasing temperature, the system opens the valve, which is gaining excess fluid from the system in the tank, and at cooling water pump from the tank is pumped back into the system.

Thus, these systems can maintain the pressure in the system in a sufficiently narrow, predefined limits. In addition, free-flow tank can be filled entirely with coolant, which makes the installation maintenance several times more compact than conventional expansion tanks. It is also important and that the installation of pressure maintenance implement many additional features: automatic recharge system, the coolant deaeration, etc.
