The thermal expansion tank features the sealed-in air cushion, pre-charged to the minimum system pres- sure before recovery is started. A rugged butyl diaphragm seals in the air cushion and also separates air from hot domestic water to prevent air from being dissolved by hot system water.

Finally, on the water side of the expansion tank is a separate, rigid polypropylene liner so fresh, corrosive, domestic hot water can be handled without fear of corrosion and leaks.

Therm-X-Trol specifications

Amtrol Therm-X-Trol is a leading solution in the realm of hydronic heating systems, specifically designed for maintaining optimal pressure and ensuring efficiency in thermal expansion processes. One of the standout features of the Therm-X-Trol is its innovative design which incorporates a pre-charged, bladder-type expansion tank. This design effectively separates the water from the air, contributing to improved hydronic system performance and longevity.

One of the key technologies embedded in the Therm-X-Trol is the use of high-quality materials that ensure durability and reliability. The tank is constructed with heavy-gauge steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant finish, providing excellent protection against rust and wear over time. This not only enhances the lifespan of the product but also ensures safe operation under high-pressure conditions.

The Therm-X-Trol tanks are also equipped with a unique air cushion system that allows for exceptional performance in various temperature ranges. This technology helps to absorb the thermal expansion of water as it heats, preventing excessive pressure buildup in the system. By efficiently managing the pressure fluctuations, these tanks minimize the risk of system malfunctions or leaks, thus maintaining a stable operational environment.

Another defining characteristic of the Amtrol Therm-X-Trol is its ease of installation and compatibility with a wide range of HVAC systems. It is designed to accommodate various system sizes and configurations, making it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial applications. The tank's lightweight design and integrated carrying handle facilitate seamless handling during installation.

Moreover, the Therm-X-Trol expansion tank contributes to energy efficiency in heating systems by maintaining system pressure within optimal limits. This not only reduces energy consumption but also enhances the overall performance of heating appliances, leading to cost savings for homeowners and building managers alike.

In summary, Amtrol Therm-X-Trol stands out as a reliable and efficient expansion tank solution. Its innovative engineering, durable construction, and compatibility with various hydronic heating systems make it a crucial component for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of heating operations. With its array of advanced features and technologies, the Therm-X-Trol is a smart investment for anyone looking to optimize their heating systems and promote energy savings.
