Expansion tanks

To answer your question The air cushion in the tank can be absorbed by the system through gravity circulation. On a down cycle, the cooler water laddent with air tends to move to the system while water from the system moves to the tank. Using the Airtrol tank fitting will eliminate this problem.

Exspansion tanks

Anyone have any good suggestions or reasons that exspansion tanks are always filling up over time?

And also, if you are using automatic air vents anywhere in the system, the tank will get waterlogged alot quicker than usual.

What kind of expansion tank? Is this a diaphragm-ed tank?

If not, be sure to use a scoop rather than a micro-bubble eliminator. Micro-bubble elims (such as a spirovent) can over time steal all of the air from a conventional unit.

Does it have a bladder?

This tank is on a large commercial job, I do NOT believe it has a bladder, I believe the pumps are located on the return side of the system.

Especially under pressure and heated. What are the size of these tanks. Could you use an airtrol fitting?
