Principle
reflex V in-line vessel
reflex V in-line vessels protect the diaphragms of expansion vessels from impermissible temperature loads. According
to DIN 4807 Part 3, the continuous temperature on the diaphragm must not exceed 70C. In cooling systems, tempera-
tures of d 0C should be avoided, so as to eliminate the possibility of the diaphragm freezing to the vessel.

In heating systems In cooling circuits
If the reflex V in-line vessel is connected from above, hot
expansion water > 70C displaces cooler water into the
diaphragm of the expansion vessel.
If the reflex V in-line vessel is connected from below, cold
expansion water d 0C displaces warmer water into the
diaphragm of the expansion vessel.
Selection
No general formula exists for calculating the nominal volume Vn of V in-line vessels. Local conditions also vary
too greatly. We would therefore like to refer you to our calculation program and the brochure for Pressurization,
Degassing, and Make-up Systems Planning, Calculation, Equipment.
