● Finally We Can Select The Expansion Tank At A Tank Volume Of :

251.622 Gallons

● Also We Can Select The Expansion Tank At A Maximum Operating Pressure Of :
216.000 Feet Of Water
6.456 Bar
93.639 Psi
● Notes :
* The Pump Water Volume is Neglected as It Is Considered As A Very Small Value.
* The Above Equation is Based On Carrier Design Manual (Chapter 2. Water Piping)
