Flamco Expansion Vessels

Flexcon diaphragm expansion vessels from 2 to 8,000 litres for heating and cooling systems.

Overview

Water expands as it heats. In a closed heating or cooling circuit, an expansion vessel absorbs that extra volume and keeps pressure stable, protecting pumps, pipes and boilers. Flamco Flexcon vessels surpass European guidelines and carry the CE mark.

Description

How it works

A flexible diaphragm separates the system water from a cushion of nitrogen. As the water heats and expands, it compresses the nitrogen; as it cools, the nitrogen pushes the water back. A Prescor safety valve opens if pressure ever rises too high.

Key features

  • Sizes from 2 to 8,000 litres, with a wide choice of pre-pressures
  • Prevents water loss, internal corrosion and pump damage
  • High-quality diaphragms (SBR or butyl rubber), suitable for use with anti-freeze
  • Steel vessels with a red epoxy coating; vessel halves coated before assembly so the clamp area cannot rust
  • Very low diaphragm permeability, so pre-pressure holds
  • Flexcon M models (larger sizes) have a replaceable diaphragm and pressure gauge
  • Quick installation; can be placed anywhere in the system
