    This document provides information on selecting GT-HR pressure tanks for heating applications. It includes a formula for calculating the required tank volume based on factors like maximum temperature, pressure, and total water volume. It also provides a sizing example and recommendations on setting the precharge pressure at least 0.2 bar above static pressure and no lower than 1 bar. GT-HR tanks range from 8 to 1000 liters and have a non-replaceable diaphragm precharged to 1.5 bar, while GT-U+ bladder tanks range from 100 to 3000 liters with replaceable bladders and maximum pressures of 10, 16, or 25 bar.

    Heating
    Applications Selection of a GT-HR tank
    Grundfos supplies two types of tanks that are suitable The required tank volume can be calculated from the
    for both closed heating systems and chilled-water formula below:
    applications.
    (0.07 x t - 2.5) x (ps + 1)
    These tanks can be incorporated in an expansion Ve = x V [litres]
    100 x (ps - pe)
    system in a tiny household or a large multi-storey
    building. Ve: Tank volume [litres]
    Typical applications: t: Maximum temperature in system [°C]
    • domestic-heating and chilled-water systems ps: Maximum system pressure [bar] (safety valve
    • commercial-building heating and chilled-water pressure)
    systems pe: Precharge pressure [bar]
    • industrial heating and chilled-water systems. V: Total volume of water in system [litres]
    If the necessary information required to calculate the
    Tank range tank according to the formula is not available, the
    sizing of the tank can be based on heat input to the
    GT-HR, diaphragm tank installation and maximum system pressure.
    GT-HR tanks are conventional diaphragm-type Pre-conditions
    expansion tanks suitable for vertical installation.
    Heating systems:
    GT-HR tanks range from 8 to 1000 litres with a
    • flat radiators
    maximum pressure of 6 bar. The tanks have a non-
    replaceable diaphragm that is precharged with • specific water volume of 11.3 l/kW
    nitrogen at 1.5 bar. • flow-pipe temperature of 70 °C
    GT-HR tanks have a non-toxic SBR rubber diaphragm • return-pipe temperature of 50 °C.
    that divides the tank chamber into two compartments.
    Maximum system
    The upper compartment contains compressed 6
    pressure [bar]
    nitrogen. The lower compartment has a liner of
    Precharge pressure [bar] 1.5 Tank size [l]
    polypropylene (PP) and is filled with water from the
    4 8
    pump.

    You can use GT-HR tanks with any Grundfos pump. 16 18

    GT-U+, bladder tank
    44 35
    GT-U+ tanks are bladder tanks ranging from 100 to 60 50
    3000 litres with a maximum pressure of either 10, 16 or 100 80
    25 bar. The tanks have a replaceable bladder 120 100
    precharged at 4 bar. Heat input [kW] 170 140
    250 200
    GT-U+ tanks are suitable for both heating and cold-
    310 250
    water applications. For more information, see GT-U+,

    bladder tank, page 6. 490 400
    620 500
    740 600
    990 800
    1230 1000

    Grundfos recommendation
    • Set the tank precharge pressure to at least 0.2 bar
    above the static pressure of the heating system.
    • The tank precharge pressure must not be lower
    than 1 bar.
    Sizing example
    A heating system has a heat input of 160 kW, the
    maximum system pressure is 6 bar, and the heating
    system will be precharged by 1.5 bar.
    Use the column for 6 bar maximum system pressure.
    The nearest value above 160 kW is 170 kW. This
    corresponds to a tank size of 140 litres.
