How is the volume of the expansion tank for heat transfer oil determined? What is the basis? We currently have a 200KW electric heat transfer oil furnace with a temperature of 150 degrees, which is used to heat two tanks with a capacity of 8 cubic meters each. What size expansion tank is required?
The total oil volume in the system, and then the expansion amount is calculated; the capacity of the expansion tank must be greater than this value
The difference in volume of the total amount of heat transfer oil at room temperature and at its maximum temperature, plus about 50% as a margin.
A typical heat transfer oil heating system depends on the total amount of heat transfer oil used in the heating system; based on this total amount, the amount of expansion of the oil when its temperature changes is calculated, and the total volume of the expansion tank can be 2 to 3 times that amount. I hold a patent for an energy-saving heat transfer oil heating system, which is particularly suitable for reaction vessels that require intermittent heating and cooling. When the hot oil (or cold oil) is switched to cold oil (or hot oil), the hot oil (or cold oil) remaining in the reactor jacket (or coil, semi-coil) is fed into the cold oil (or hot oil) system, where it must be cooled (or heated) to become cold oil (or hot oil). Each switch causes significant heat loss and cold loss. How can we avoid this energy loss caused by the need to cool hot oil and then reheat cold oil? Creative ideas, excellent designs, and **patents can help you solve problems effortlessly, significantly reduce energy losses, and effectively cut down production costs. Whether heat transfer oil is used for cooling or not, whether it’s the renovation of an existing system or the design of a new one, everything is so simple and easy. Low investment, high returns. It also involves the design of the expansion tank and the issue of preventing high-temperature hot oil from coming into contact with air and deteriorating as a result. You can contact me if needed.
I have a paper here; the original poster can take a look at it

It is recommended that you carry out the calculations yourself in accordance with clause 11.4.7 Liquid-phase system expansion tank (3) of the \"TSG G0001-2012 Regulations on Safety Technical Inspection of Boilers\". For reference
