Oversizing Compression tanks

Amtrol's sizing calculation has repeatedly spat out sizes that are smaller than what I often see installed in similar sized buildings.



Are there any risks in oversizing a compression tank?



I work in retrofit design and generally do not have an accurate account of the system piping and volume of water; there's a lot of guesswork. Therefore being able to upsize would make me feel mroe comfortable.



Thanks.

    The only risk....

    is the loss of money.



    As Dan H has said a million times, "The urge to oversize components for heating systems is stronger than the urge to have sex".



    How true it is.
