Expansion Vessels
When a boiler is heated, water in a heating system expands as a result of thermal pressure. Expansion vessels – also known as expansion tanks – are used to manage the increased volume and pressure of the heated water.
Diaphragm expansion vessels offer a simple and intelligent solution that will maintain the correct pressure for the perfect functioning of a heating system. They operate without an electrical current, compressor or pump, instead a diaphragm separates the vessel into a water and gas chamber preventing the gas from diffusing into the water.
Reflex Expansion Tanks
The Reflex range of diaphragm expansion vessels can be used for a wide range of pressure ranges and nominal volumes, flat or cylindrical in shape depending on the installation site, and with fixed, half diaphragm or exchangeable bladder (full diaphragm).
