Sizing of safety equipment
Expansion vessel sizes are relative to the volume of liquid in the system. Therefore it is
important that the Thermomax ‘Technical Design Guide’ is consulted for each system.
Pipe Sizing
(minimum of 15mm diameter pipework must be used)
Cooling Vessel Sizing
It is strongly recommended that a cooling vessel is used with the collector to protect the
expansion vessel from stagnation temperatures.

When selecting a vessel for intermediate sizes, the vessel should be selected by rounding area up to nearest m².
All sizes above are calculated based on a 17ltr system volume as an example. For larger volumes the expansion
vessel size should be recalculated. Cooling vessel sizes are dependant on pipe dimensions and can be calculated
on a case by case basis or selected using the table above as a guideline.
* figures marked as such are estimates based on other measurements
