Amtrol expansion tanks for heating systems

They are used in modern energy-saving heating systems closed. What these systems differ from traditional described in the article "The Evolution of heating systems"

Amtrol Expansion tanks are steel housing with built-in membrane of artificial rubber and are designed to compensate for the expansion of the liquid circulating within the heating system.

Amtrol expansion tanks for heating differ:

*on the maximum allowable working pressure, ie wall thickness of the tank (depending on the operating pressure used type of heating system)
*the type of mounting flange to the tank - removable or fixed membrane (for tanks with small capacity are usually rolled manner of attaching the flange to the tanks of large capacity flange screw, which allows the replacement of membranes)
*the type of rubber - for systems operating on water use heat-resistant rubber SBR, for the systems to use antifreeze membrane of rubber Nitril
*in capacity, which should be specially calculated for each specific system, depending on its internal capacity and power boiler
