Design and function of the expansion vessel
A Heat transfer medium
B Nitrogen filling
C Nitrogen buffer
D Safety water seal (min. 3 l)
E Safety water seal
F Delivered condition (3 bar pre-charge pressure)
G Solar thermal system filled, without heat influence
H Under maximum pressure with the highest heat transfer medium
temperature
The expansion vessel consists of a space containing liquid (heat trans-
fer medium) and a space containing gas (nitrogen filling), which are
separated from each other by a diaphragm. The appropriate pre-
charge pressure depends on the system head.
Note
Adjust the pre-charge pressure as follows: 1 bar + 0.1 bar/m × static
head in m (cold fill). The system fill level must be 0.3 to 0.5 bar higher
than the pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel. The safety
water seal should be 0.005 x liquid content of the complete system,
but no less than 3 litres.
To safely prevent steam being created during the operating phase,
collectors in their cold state must be under at least 1 bar pressure. The
pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel will then be 0.1 x higher
than static head h. In hot conditions, the system pressure rises by
approx. 1 to 2 bar.
Max. idle temperatures of the collectors
Vitosol 200-F, type SV2/SH2 221ºC
Vitosol 200-F, type 5DI 185ºC
Vitosol 200-T 300ºC
Vitosol 300-T 273ºC
The expansion vessel must be sufficiently large to accommodate the
collector content when steam forms (stagnation), to ensure that no
heat transfer medium can escape through the safety valve.
