ThermoWaveTM expansion tanks are specially designed for
use in potable water heating applications . Many homes
and buildings have potable water heating systems to
provide hot water for washing, cooking, showering, etc .
As the water is heated it also expands . This expansion
leads to increased system pressure and can cause serious
damage . In most systems a relief valve is installed to vent
the expanded water volume and prevent the system from
exceeding maximum operating pressure . Unfortunately,
this creates wasted energy as hot water is vented and
additional water must be filled and heated again . In
order to safely accommodate the natural expansion of
water without venting from a relief valve, a ThermoWave
expansion tank is used . ThermoWave expansion tanks
conserve water and energy while safely maintaining system
operating pressures . They do so by temporarily absorbing
the expanded water volume instead of allowing it to be
vented out of a relief valve .
