to determine the volume of the expansion vessel. (It should be DIETRISOL PRO C250 POWER
noted that De Dietrich also offers assistance in its DIEMATOOLS collector type 10 15
software for the dimensional calculation of the expansion vessel). Storage per collector (l) 3 2.29
Sizing the expansion vessel consists in determining:
its inflation pressure (preload)
its capacity (volume) 4. Total expansion volume Vet in litres
The data needed are:
Vet = 3 + Vd (l) + Vv (l)
the heat-carrying fluid capacity of the installation (l),
the heat-carrying fluid capacity of the collectors (l),
the static height of the installation (m), 5. Efficiency d of the expansion vessel
the calibration pressure of the safety valve (bar),
d = (Final pressure + 1) - (P + 1) / (Final pressure + 1)
the percentage of glycol in the heat-carrying fluid (%).
The method is broken down into 6 steps:
where finale pressure (bar) = max. valve pressure - 0.50
1. Determining the inflation pressure P (preload of the vessel) in bar
P = hst /10 + Pva + 0.5 6. (Minimum) volume of the expansion vessel Vm in litres
hst: static height between the air vent and the expansion vessel (m) Vm = Vet / d
Pva: vaporisation pressure as of which the heat-carrying fluid
changes into vapour
