Comparing the size of the integrated expansion
vessel (KWB-3A boiler only)
The following diagrams allow verifying that the integrated expansion
vessel has sufficient capacity for the intended application, or if an
additional expansion vessel is needed (not for radiant floor heating).
The following standard conditions were used:
• Pre-charge volume 20% of the rated volume in the expansion vessel
• Differential to the safety valve of 7.25 psi (0.5 bar)
• Pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel equal to the static
system height above the boiler
• Maximum operating pressure: 30 psi (2.07 bar)
