Thermal Expansion y
U
Determine if a check valve exists in the inlet water line. Check with your local water c
utility. It may have been installed in the cold water line as a separate back flow preventer,or it a
may be part of a pressure reducing valve,water meter or water softener.A check valve located in 3
the cold water inlet line can cause what is referred to as a"closed water system".A cold N
water inlet line with no check valve or back flow prevention device is referred to as an"Open"
wateroyotem.
Ao water i5 heated,it expands in volume and creates an increase in the pressure within the water
System.This action i5 referred to as"thermal expansion".In an"Open"water oy5tem,
expanding water which exceeds the capacity of the water heater flows back into the city main
where the preooure 15 ea5ily dissipated. •
A"closed water system", however,prevents the expanding water from flowing back into the
main Supply line,and the result of"thermal expansion"can create a rapid and dangerous
pressure increase in the water heater and System piping.This rapid pressure increase can quickly
reach the Safety Setting of the relief valve,causing it to operate during each heating cycle. •
Thermal expansion,and the resulting rapid,and repeated expansion and contraction of
components in the water heater and piping System can cause premature failure of the relief
valve,and pocolbly the heater itself.Replacing the relief valve will not correct the problem!
O
The 5uggeoted method of controlling thermal expansion is to install an expansion tank in the cold
water line between the water heater and the check valve(see illustration below).The expansion m
tank is designed with an air cushion built in that compre5Se5 a5 the system pressure increaoeo, 3
thereby relieving the over pressure condition and eliminating the repeated operation of the relief
valve.Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are also available.Contact your installing N
