Example calculations for expansion equipment<br />

Example 1<br />

Data<br />

- power capacity = 1500 kW<br />

- average heating temperature (90/70ºC) = 80ºC<br />

- static height = 20 metres<br />

- capacity = 15,400 litres<br />

- provision for expansion (vessel) situated at the bottom of the system.<br />

Calculation of vessel capacity<br />

Increase in volume in % = 2.89% ≈ 2.9%<br />

15,400 x 2.9<br />

Expansion volume = –––––––––––<br />

100<br />

= 447 litres<br />

Required expansion reservoir capacity = 447 : 0.8<br />

Your choice<br />

= 558.8 litres<br />

<strong>Flamco</strong>mat GB 600.<br />

Calculation - control unit with pump.<br />

Nominal operating pressure = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 bar(g).<br />

The 1.5 MW - 2.5 barg point is under the D0 pump curve<br />

(see <strong>Flamco</strong>mat pump characteristics graph).<br />

Selected: <strong>Flamco</strong>mat GB 600/D0.<br />

Example 2<br />

Data<br />

- power capacity = 7000 kW<br />

- average heating temperature (70/40ºC) = 55ºC<br />

- static height = 37 metres<br />

- capacity = unknown<br />

- provision for expansion (vessel) situated at the bottom of the system.<br />

- system components: mixed utility<br />

Calculation of vessel capacity<br />

System capacity calculation = 7000 x 10<br />

= 70,000 litres<br />

Increase in volume in % = 1.42%<br />

7,000 x 1.42<br />

Required expansion reservoir capacity = 994 : 0.8<br />

= 994 litres<br />

= 1,242.5 litres<br />
