3.11 Expansion Vessel
A diaphragm type expansion vessel, conforming to the current
issue of BS4814 (see also BS7404 Part 1 and 2) must be
connected at a point close to the inlet side of the circulating
pump, see diagram 3.4 unless laid down differently by the
manufacturer.
The expansion vessel volume depends upon the total water
system volume and the initial system design pressure. For any
system an accurate calculation of vessel size is given in the
current issue of BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1, for IE refer to the
current edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
Example. For an initial system design pressure of 0.7bar the
minimum total vessel volume required is 0.063xTotal System
volume.
NOTE: A higher initial design pressure requires a larger volume
expansion vessel.
The charge pressure must not be less than the static head of the
system, that is, the height of the highest point of the system
above the expansion vessel.
The water content of the boiler is given in Data Table 1.
3.12 Pressure Gauge
A pressure gauge with a set pointer and covering at least the
range 0 to 4bar (0 to 60lb/in
2 ) shall be permanently fitted to the
system in a position where it can be seen when filling the
system.
