Expansion Vessel for Heating Systems
Purpose: Exclusively for closed-loop heating systems (e.g., radiators, underfloor heating) where water is not for human consumption.
Key Features:
Durable Materials: Nitrile rubber diaphragm and epoxy-coated steel shell optimised for high-temperature heating water.
Higher Temperature Tolerance: Built to withstand frequent heating cycles.
When to Use: Ideal for boilers, solar thermal systems, or any circuit where water circulates for heating only.
Why It Matters
Using the wrong type of vessel risks:
Contamination (non-potable materials leaching into drinking water).
System Failure (heating vessels lack hygiene certifications, while potable vessels may degrade in high-temperature heating loops).
