So what you do then, is choose a charge pressure, eg 1 bar (as you stated earlier and I disagreed with)! then work out the static pressure (system pressure) and round up, ie 1.2M to 1.5 - then choose that constant figure next to that, ie 0.152 then times it by the system volume and then choose the next sized expansion vessel up?!!!
 
no as i stated earlier you work out the system volume first

you pre charge the system to 1.2 whigh allows for the head

not the bleeding expansion vessel
 
sorry :oops:

basically, work out the system volume, then buy the next size vessel up and pre-charge to 1-1.2 bar and that is fine....?????!!!!
 
kev-a final question please mate: for a domestic house (3 beds semi) - will a 12 L vessel charged to 1 bar be sufficient and operate correctly, even if it is slightly oversized and over-pressurised, from your experience??

The answer to that question depends on the system volume, and the initial system pressure.

Most manufacturers give you the pre-charge pressure, you can work it out from there.

The only thing to remember is the pre-charge pressure must not be less than Hydrostatic head. :LOL:

Young pups :rolleyes:

Work out an example from the list I posted.

System volume 100 Ltrs.
Pre-charge 1bar.
System pressure 1.5 bar.

Thats 100 x 0.152.

Can i go to bed now I'm missing my afternoon nap. :eek:
