Schüco Solar Expansion Tank

Schüco Solar Expansion Tank
The expansion tank is a crucial part of a Schüco solar thermal system. It allows the system to manage both overheating and freezing environmental conditions using “intelligent physics”; rather than troublesome pumps and valves. The tank functions as a “shock absorber” that helps to protect and manage the dynamics of the thermal system as environmental conditions change. It can either work to keep a constant pressure on the system or act as a fluid reservoir to receive and protect the entire collector array’s volume of heat transfer fluid from potentially damaging temperatures.
