Expansion Vessels
Expansion Vessels

Our range of expansion tanks are available in three styles: horizontal, vertical and pipeline mounted. These tanks are designed to facilitate the pressurisation of hydraulic systems and enable a constant supply throughout the system on both heating and potable water systems.

Applications
The GLV range is suitable for many types of system:- domestic, commercial, industrial and agricultural. The membrane, made from food grade material (EPDM), is perfectly acceptable for use on potable water supplies and is approved by the WAC. With a temperature range of -10ºC to + 100ºC the tank may be used on domestic hot water supplies as an expansion vessel. Other typical applications include -water treatment, pressurisation systems, booster sets, reverse osmosis and as an aid to reduce water hammer.

Technical Specifications
  • Temperature range -10ºC to +100ºC.
  • Interchangeable EPDM Membrane.
  • Maximum of 16 BarG system pressure.
  • Supplied with 1.5 or 2.5 BarG pre-charge pressure.
  • Suitable for hot & cold water, glycol mixtures, de-mineralised and de-ionised water.
  • Available in weatherproof finish on request.
  • Vertical, horizontal and pipeline mounted models.
  • WRC approved.
  • Manufactured to DiN 4807 (section 3). Water totally isolated from tank body avoiding dangerous corrosion.
Advantages
  • Easy and fast Installation.
  • -10ºC to +100ºC.
  • Rubber membrane (EPDM) approved by WRC eliminates water to metal contact, effectlvely eliminating corrosion.
  • Reduces frequent pump starts by acting as a pressure reservoir.
  • Interchangeable membrane to ensure long life.
