MIT 02Lt/1000Lt - Expansion Tanks

Expansion Tanks, also known as expansion tanks, are plumbing equipment that provides pressure control and water support in plumbing systems.

The average water temperature in systems that prepare domestic hot water in residences and workplaces is 80°C. The feed water temperature is accepted as 10°C. In this case, the value of the water passing through the system constantly changes between 10°C and 80°C. The specific volume of water also changes depending on this temperature. The system is protected by using expansion tanks to correct the volume of water that expands as it heats up.

General Information:

There are two types of expansion tanks: open and closed.

Open Expansion Tanks

Open expansion tanks operate open to the atmosphere. It protects the system by preventing the installation from exceeding this pressure according to the pressure rate in the atmosphere.

Closed Expansion Tanks

Closed expansion tanks working with a manometer and safety valve are preferred in systems where an open expansion tank cannot be placed and operating at larger capacities.
