Water Storage Tank Volume Calculating
Calculating volume of expansion water tank
Vmin is referred to the below table:
An expansion water tank with a proper volume must be installed to adapt to water volume changes as the
temperature changes and avoid freezing burst and pressure instability at the water pump inlet.
The expansion water tank can also be used to supplement water and discharge air.
Calculating volume of expansion water tank.

overflow pipe). m

α: volume expansion coefficient of water (α =0.0006/°C)
t: max. water temperature variation °C.

Note:
1. The total water volume of the entire hydraulic system includes the water in main pipe, water tank
and terminal equipments, in which the 2-way valve is open.
2. If the water volume (V) while the unit is running is less than Vmin, it's recommended to install a
water tank of (Vmin-V)L, or it will cause the unit frequent ON/OFF.
3. The Vmin in the table is calculated based on nominal cooling water flow and 5ºC anti-freeze. If the
water flow and anti-freeze temperature change, related Vmin will change.
4. The table is applied for the water volume selection of normal chiller, not for the chiller under low
leaving water temperature with glycol.
