How Do Hot Water Expansion Tanks Work?

  • Thermal Expansion Control – When water heats up, it expands, increasing pressure within the system.
  • Pressure Absorption – The tank’s internal air cushion absorbs excess pressure, preventing stress on pipes and fittings.
  • Consistent Performance – By maintaining steady pressure, our Hot Water Expansion Tanks extend the lifespan of heating systems.
  • Automatic Regulation – Equipped with a diaphragm or bladder, the tank automatically adjusts to pressure variations.

Why a Hot Water Expansion Tank is Essential for Your Hot Water Tank?

A Hot Water Expansion Tank is essential for your hot water system as it prevents excessive pressure buildup caused by thermal expansion. When water heats up, it expands, increasing pressure within a closed system, which can damage pipes, valves, and fittings. An expansion tank absorbs this extra pressure, ensuring system stability, reducing stress on components, and preventing leaks or failures.

Types of Hot Water Expansion Tanks

Compression (Plain Steel) Tanks


Compression tanks, also known as plain steel expansion tanks, are traditional expansion tanks designed to handle thermal expansion in hot water systems. These tanks operate without an internal bladder, relying on an air cushion to absorb the expanding water volume. They are typically installed horizontally above the boiler and often include a gauge glass for monitoring air levels. While compression tanks are cost-effective and suitable for low-rise buildings, they require regular maintenance, as air can gradually dissolve into the water, reducing efficiency and necessitating periodic recharging.

Bladder/Diaphragm Tanks


Bladder or diaphragm expansion tanks feature an internal rubber bladder or flexible diaphragm that separates the air and water, preventing air absorption and maintaining consistent pressure control. These tanks are commonly installed with a ring base for floor mounting, offering easier installation and lower maintenance compared to compression tanks. Pre-charged with air to match system pressure, bladder tanks are ideal for modern closed-loop heating systems, providing reliable pressure stabilization, extended system lifespan, and reduced risk of waterlogging.
