Vince, My gut tells me to use numbers. If you post the system capacity, mix percentage, temperature extremes, and chamber max working pressure, I can tell you what the max static pressure at the chamber can be.

A small amount of piping on an existing antifreeze system runs through an area where temperature "extremes" can occur. The rest of the system is located in conditioned air. I'd estimate the split at maybe 95-5% . Although the entire system is antifreeze, has a one gallon tank, and the pressure has never "spiked". The expansion will all be in the conditioned area. So, my question is, should I have the owner consider a new tank on this basis? My gut tells me it's needless... what's yours tell you? thanks, Vince Vince Sabolik, West Tech Fire Protection, Inc. 11351 Pearl Road / Strongsville, Ohio 44136 440 238-4800 Fax 440 238-4876 ____________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
