Sizing Flexcon expansion vessels
Static height is the vertical

distance from the expansion
vessel mid point (lower part
of system) to the highest
point of the system above
the expansion vessel.
Basic calculation Maximum vessel efciency

system water content x coefficient of expansion Range Size Efciency
Vessel size = Flexcon 2 - 600 litres 0.625 (62.5%)
expansion vessel efficiency Flexcon 800 litres 0.5 (50%)

Maximum pressure = maximum working pressure at the expansion vessel. must not exceed the maximum stated by
Minimum pressure = expansion vessel gas charge (normally dependent on Flamco UK Ltd. sizing charts have taken this

size. e.g. Flexcon 80/1).
Heating systems - Flexcon standard expansion vessels

Sizing to B.S. 7074 heating and chilled water sealed systems up to 5 bar(g).
Use the following criteria for calculations:
Water content = system water content + 10%.
Coefficient of expansion = use system highest temperature (not mean temp).
Maximum pressure = safety valve setting - 10%. (e.g. for 3 bar(g) safety valve maximum pressure = 2.7 bar(g) ).
Minimum pressure = expansion vessel gas charge.
For elevated temperature systems it is necessary to ensure that the water at the highest point in the system does not flash to steam.
An anti-Flash margin, usually 11 deg.C, should be added to the flow temperature. The corresponding vapour pressure for this
temperature should then be added to the static height of the system. This new minimum pressure must be used for the expansion
calculations and will protect the system in accordance with BS 7074 pt2. If in doubt please contact Flamco UK Ltd. for advice.

equipment
For large or tall sealed systems traditional expansion vessels are not
always the most efcient solution in terms of operational pressure or
physical footprint. Flamco Expansion systems balance the system
pressure, using a highly efcient vessel design and control equipment.
We produce a comprehensive range of models that offer high-quality
performance and versatility which may be further enhanced by the
addition of numerous optional accessories. Flamco has an adaptable,
modular range to suit every requirement.

Tomorrow's technology in today's Flamcomat
The Flamcomat is a modern, pump-driven The Flamcomat consists of a pump unit and a
pressurisation unit. Important functions are pressureless vessel. This modular expansion system
integrated into one compact unit. can be expanded with additional vessels and
accessories from our comprehensive range. In this
way we can tailor your equipment precisely to the
needs of your system.
Steel vessel at atmospheric pressure.

Flexible hoses.
Twin pump configuration.
Lockshield ball valves with drain.
FLAMCOMAT
Benefits to you
The Flamcomat combines pressure-control unit,
dynamic de-aeration and topping-up all in one.
Choice of a range of pump modules.
Proven de-aeration results, as tested independently
by WL / Delft Hydraulics.
Expansion fluid is stored at atmospheric pressure in
a removable butyl-rubber bladder.

The Flamcomat is suitable for any size heating
installation and for both refrigeration and air-
conditioning installations. The Flamcomat makes sure
that the system pressure remains within precise limits
and that the system is topped-up automatically should
there be any requirements.
The venting process is incorporated, dynamic and
energy-efficient.

Active de-aeration
By using an integrated PALL ring box it is possible
to de-aerate the installation continuously and
completely.
The Turbo-vent function significantly increases
the de-aeration capacity.

The Flamcomat is a versatile expansion equipment
with high technical performance. The de-aeration
capacity is not dependent on the circulation speed or
the pressure in the system In systems with a large
difference between summer and winter operation, we
recommend using a Flamcomat.

Calculation for expansion equipment
Basic concepts for the calculation of
expansion equipment
To select the right expansion appliance, it is necessary Power capacity

to understand the following principles: This is the sum of the nominal capacity [kW].
Static height Capacity of the Flamcomat pump expansion

This is the height of the system, between the appliance
connection of the Flexcon expansion equipment and The capacity of a pump expansion appliance is
the highest point, measured in water column metres determined in the following way:
(1 wcm = 0.1 barg). capacity of expansion appliance = expansion
volume / 0.8.
System water capacity
If unknown it is based on 12 l/kW. The factor of 0.8 is based on the following
assumptions:
Increase in water volume (in %) The working capacity of the vessel allows for
The table below shows data on the water volume switching and differentiation.
increase in percentage points when the temperature Corrections to tolerances which, according to
of the water increases by between 10 C and various standards, are admissible for parts of the
110 C. system.
Expansion volume
The expansion volume is determined in the following
way: expansion volume = capacity x increase in
volume at the average heating temperature. Note: different selection values apply to cooling systems.
Should you have any questions, please contact Flamco directly.
Example: heating temperature 90/70 C
(average 80 C) = 2.89%.

How a hydraulic balancer works

By fitting a FlexBalance balance vessel, the primary
and secondary circuits are connected and a balance is
maintained between the various flow speeds.
The flow in the primary and secondary circuits stays

independent in all situations.
The flows in both sub-circuits are not influenced
in any way. Schematic illustration of a system with several boilers and pumps

Potable water vessels
Domestic installations lose tens of thousands of litres of potable water
due to expansion water leaking from the vent and expansion pipe.
Flamcos Airx A and Airx D diaphragm pressure expansion vessels
for Potable equipment work to prevent this waste. The Airx vessels
are designed to allow a continuous through-ow of water to maintain
constant circulation, this process prevents the formation of bacteria.
These expansion vessels can be applied in combination with all hot
water caloriers and as surge vessels in pressure boosting systems.

Example calculation of expansion vessels for mains-water systems
Data
- water capacity of the boiler = 150 litres
- maximum water temperature = 70 C
- cold water supply pressure = 4 bar(g)
- safety valve set pressure = 8 bar(g)
- vessel initial pressure (4 - 0.2) = 3.8 bar(g)
- end pressure (mean) = 7.2 bar(g)
Initial vessel pressure = Cold water supply pressure - 0.2 bar(g) = 3.8
End pressure (mean) = Set pressure of safety valve x 90% = 7.2 bar(g).
Calculation
Increase in volume: at 70 C is 2.25% = 150 x 2.25 % = 3.4 litres

Residual factor: 1 - fill level= 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

Output: x residual factor = x 0.96 = 0.375

If the pressure expansion vessel in question has a
greater capacity than required for the aforementioned
use, it can also be used as a storage vessel. In this
respect, the pump does not have to be activated when
small amounts are removed by the system, increasing
the pump's overall service life.
The cut-in pressure of the pressure switch should

preferably be set 0.2 bar(g) higher than the expansion
vessel's initial pressure. The cut-in pressure for a
expansion vessel with 3.0 bar(g) initial pressure is
therefore 3.2 bar(g).

4
The size of the pressure expansion vessel can be calculated using the following formula:
Qu + Qi pu + 1 pi + 1
V = 0.278 x = x x x t
2 pu pi pv + 1
This formula uses the following parameters:

V = capacity of the pressure expansion vessel in litres.
Qu = pump output at cut-out pressure in m3/h.
Qi = pump output at cut-in pressure in m3/h.
pu = pressure switch cut-out pressure in bar (abs.).
pi = pressure switch cut-in pressure in bar (abs.).
pv = initial pressure of the pressure expansion vessel in bar (abs.).
t = time in seconds during which the vessel can be drained without the pump cutting in.
If V is between the capacity values of two pressure expansion vessels, the larger of the two must always be
selected.
If the smaller pressure expansion vessel is selected, The pressure expansion vessel will then also work as a

Automatic air vents
and dirt separators
Systems in which the water is properly de-aerated and free of
contamination are more efcient, produce less noise and have a longer
service life. Our products use proven technology to extract air and dirt
particles from the water, i.e. coalescence, ow velocity reduction and
pressure drop.
Regardless of whether in a domestic environment or commercial
installations with large heating or cooling systems, Flamcos range
of automatic air vents and dirt separators provide the most efcient
solution.

Determining the appropriate size of
Flamcovent
The information below is applicable to heating and cooling systems. The effectiveness of the Flamcovent air
separator depends on the speed of water flowing through the system. For the best results, Flamco advises a flow
speed of between 0.5 and 1 m/s, assuming the Flamcovent is installed in the right place in the system (with the
lowest pressure and the highest temperature). Even at flow speeds of between 1 and 1.5 m/s, the vents function
is still adequate. Higher speeds (above 1.5 m/s) are not recommended. In such cases, a Flamcovent with a
greater connection diameter should be used with adapters, in order to reduce the water speed inside the
Flamcovent.

The cap of the Flexvent Super is conical in shape.
The advantage of this construction is that the
clearance between the water level and venting valve is
at its greatest. The air-escape duct can be opened or

The venting valve forms an integral part of the cap,
so that it is impossible to damage the floatvent
mechanism from outside.

The compact proven design has high efficiency and guaranteed operation for heating and air conditioning. The water within the
installation contains air which can form corrosion and reduce the thermal transfer. A Flexvent is fitted at places where the air
collects. Float operated, the air is collected in the Flexvent causing the float to drop and open the air release valve. When the air
is eliminated the float rises and closes the valve.

Exceptional deaeration performance with compact and robust design, taking up minimal space.
The PSD is a differential pressure deaeration unit (Pressure Step Degasser).

System fluid is sampled from the system, isolated and subjected to a full vacuum.
All dissolved air within the sample is liberated, in accordance with Henrys Law and vented to atmosphere.
The deaerated fluid is then reintroduced to the system.
This process is automatically repeated and controlled with a digital processor.
A turbo mode is available for initial system setup, to allow for rapid deaeration of new installations.
The real-time display shows the status of the mechanical components.
A common alarm volt free contact is included within the PSD control unit for remote indication of a fault.

Flamco T-plus
The T-plus is an ideal product for the expansion, conversion or overhaul
of an existing system. No longer is it necessary to isolate, drain,
de-pressurise or freeze a pipe when an extra branch is required.
The new branch can be tted in seconds, even in hard-to-reach places.
Time is money and installers will immediately appreciate the difference
that T-plus makes.
There are three models in the Flamco range (steel, copper and copper
with integral ball valve) which can be used with a wide range of tubes
and pipes for water, air and other non-ammable media.

Flamco Solar Air Vent Range

For a safe efficient method of air removal
from solar systems use the Flamco Solar
Air Vent Range. The Flamco Solar Air
Vents are used in renewable energy
applications.
The air vents are designed for manually operated vents, to allow
greater control of the fluid pressure within the system. With
traditional automatic air vents, the release of liberated air can
result in a drop in system pressure. With solar systems there is a
real risk of the solar fluid turning to vapour in the event of a
pressure drop. To prevent this the Solar Air Vents have a manual
bleed valve for the removal of the accumulated air.

The compact proven design has high efficiency and guaranteed operation for heating and air conditioning. The water within the
installation contains air which can form corrosion and reduce the heat and cold transfer. A Flexvent is fitted at places where the
air collects. Float operated, the air is collected in the Flexvent causing the float to drop and open the air release valve. When the
air is eliminated the float rises and closes the valve.

Prescor Solar safety valves Price band C
For closed central solar heating installations.

Should the pressure in the installation rise too high, the Prescor safety valve will ensure that the excess pressure is safely
discharged. Flamco safety valves have a special shape, which not only achieves a perfect seal, but also a large discharge
capacity. The valve seal is made of high-quality rubber, which is heat resistant to 140 C, and the hardness of the rubber is
adjusted to the set pressure of the safety valve. In this way, the valve cannot stick to the seat.
