Expansion Tank Size Formula This is the formular for sizing expansion tank Vt =[ (0.00041T - 0.

0466) Vs] / [ (Ha/Ht) - (Ha/Ho)] Vt = required tank vol Vs= total vol of system, gallon T= design average temp, F degree Ha= atmospheric press absolute,== 34 ft Ht= min press at tank, equal to the fill press plus static press at tank , ft of water plus absolute (34) Ho= max press at tank, ft of plus absolute (34) re check your total system vol with pump's flow rate formular a water columne of 120 M heigth would have a press of 173 psi, in order for the water to reach the top of the building your pump need to put out at least 173 psi. the person did your building peak cooling load calculation and/ or sizing your pump should be able to help you size the tank A) Expansion Tank Sizing Based on ASHRAE Systems and Equipment Handbook Chapter 12 Vt=Vs((v2/v1)-1)-3t 1-(P1/P2) Where : Vt= Volume of expansion tank, m3 Vs= Volume of water in system, m3 t1= lower temperature, chilled water leaving temp C, t1= higher temperature, ambient temperature C, Pa= atmospheric pressure , kPa P1= pressure at lower temperature, kPa (Design Fill Pressure -Static Head+28 kPa) Pa= pressure at higher temperature, kPa v1= specific volume at lower temperature, m3/kg v2= specific volume at higher temperature, m3/kg =linear cofficient of thermal expansion of steel t=(t2-t1) Static Head = in Kpa Thnaks..............
