Pay attention to the best practices to avoid voiding your HGS product's warranty!
What causes the expansion of an expansion tank?
• Overheating: Liquids exposed to high temperatures expand, and if the tank doesn't adequately accommodate this expansion, it will result in an increase in internal pressure, causing expansion;
• Excess pressure: Expansion can also occur due to excessive pressure in the system, which leads to the tank's expansion
• Obstructions or restrictions in the system: Obstructions in the piping connected to the tank can restrict the flow of liquid, increasing internal pressure and causing expansion;
• Maintenance issues: The lack of proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, valve inspection, and checking pressure control devices, can contribute to tank expansion.
How to detect contamination in the expansion tank system?
• Visual analysis of the liquid: Check for the presence of visible particles, sediments, or abnormal discoloration.
• Performance changes: Monitor temperature increases or cooling inefficiency;
• Abnormal pressure: Keep track of fluctuations or high pressure, indicating a flow obstruction of the liquid;
• Unusual odor: Identify strange or unpleasant odors in the tank's liquid;
• Sampling and laboratory analysis: Collect a sample to identify contaminants through chemical analysis.
Regular maintenance and careful observation are crucial for detecting contamination.
When identifying signs of contamination, it is advisable to take prompt action,by performing cleaning and replacing the coolant
