    This document provides a formula and calculations for sizing a cooling system expansion tank. The formula uses variables like system volume, water temperatures, pressures, and coefficients to determine the required volume of the expansion tank. Plugging values like a 54.41 cubic meter system volume, temperature range of 5.5-46 degrees C, and pressures of 1291 kPa and 651 kPa into the formula results in a required expansion tank volume of 1.09 cubic meters or 1100 liters.

    COOLING SYSTEM EXPANSION TANK SIZING

    Vt = Vs [(v2 / v1)-1] - 3aDt


    1- (P1 / P2)

    Where Vt: volume of expansion tank Req. m3


    Vs: volume of water in system 54.41 m3
    t1: lower temperature 5.50 C
    t2: higher temperature 46.00 C
    P1: pressure at lower temperature 1291.00 kpa
    P2: pressure at higher temperature 651.00 kpa
    v1: specific volume of water at lower temperature 0.00100 m3/kg
    v2: specific volume of water at higher temperature 0.00101 m3/kg
    a: linear coefficient of thermal expansion (Steel) 0.0000117 m/m.K
    Dt = t2-t1 40.50 K

    a. Estimated System Volume Vs:

    V = System Capacity (KW) x 0.014 x 1.32

    = 3680*0.014*1.32 = 68.01 m3

    Vs = V-20% = 54.41 m3
    Note: The contractor shall calculate the exact water volume in the system based on final shop drawing layout

    b. Pressure at lower temperature P1:


    P1 = P(atm) + P(Static) + 30 (for positive pressure at top
    of building)

    P(atm): Atmospheric Pressure (Kpa) 101.00 Kpa


    P(Static) = Building Height*10
    Building Height 116.00 m

    = 101 + 116*10 + 30 = 1291.00 kpa

    c. Pressure at higher temperature P2:

    P2 = P(atm) + P(relief valve)


    = 101 + (Pump pressure+50) = 101+500+50 = 651.00 kpa

    Vt = = 1.09 m3

    Expansion Tank Volume = 1100.00 Liter
