    The document provides equations and values to calculate the volume (Vt) of an expansion tank needed for a chilled water system. It gives the specific volumes (V1, V2) of water at different temperatures, the pressures (P1, P2), temperature difference (ΔT), and the coefficient of thermal expansion (α). It then lists the volumes of water in various pipes and equipment to calculate the total volume (Vs) of water in the system, which is needed to determine the required expansion tank volume (Vt).

    Vt = [Vs {(V2/V1}-1] - 3αΔT]/[1-(P1/P2)]

    Vt = volume of expansion tank, m3 or ft3 or gl

    P1 = Low pressure , kPa or PSI 20
    P2 = High pressure, kPa or PSI 45.01
    α = linear coefficient of thermal expansion, m/(m · F) or in/(in. °F)
