Introduction: Altecnic offer a complete range of expansion vessels to meet the requirements of most heating systems and for use with potable water. The expansion vessels are manufactured to meet the requirements of PED 97/23/EC Directive and BS EN 13831:2007 Closed expansion vessels with built in diaphragm for installation in water. Design: - Deep drawn steel shell for increased strength and durability. - The vessel is fabricated by MIG welding, eliminating interior rough spots and sharp edges, which helps prevent damage to the diaphragm. - Pre-pressurised air chamber with butyl rubber diaphragm. - The internal surfaces of the vessel are epoxy coated, to help prevent bacterial growth and corrosion. - Epoxy coated in blue except for the 2 litre vessel which is coated in grey. - Suitable for temperatures up to 99C, resistant to ethylene or propyleneglycol mixtures and has low gas permeability. - Altecnic expansion vessels are all tested according to the Pressure Systems Directive. How It Works: In a closed hot water circuit, the water cannot be compressed so any increase in volume, created by an increase in temperature, has to be accommodated by an expansion vessel. When water is cold, the pre-charge pressure forces the membrane sack to collapse until the pump is started when the sack starts to inflate. As the temperature in the system increases, with the associated increase in pressure and volume, the expanded water enters the sack creating additional volume and lowering the pressure. When the temperature decreases, the pre-charge pressure forces the water from the sack and back into the main water circuit.
