Pressosmart Pressurisation set for heating systems, air conditioning and a variety of industrial applications Pressosmart with two closed expansion vessels. Application Pressosmart is a pressurization set designed to maintain stable pressure in a closed water loop, such as those used in heating systems, air conditioning and a variety of industrial applications. With its electronic controller, Pressosmart offers more accurate control than standard stand-alone membrane expansion technology and a considerably smaller equipment footprint. Pressosmart can be connected to closed expansion vessels that prevent water from coming into contact with oxygen in the air. This reduces corrosion and pipeline maintenance, which extends the lifetime of the entire installation. Presso smart can also be connected to open expansion vessels. Working principle When the temperature increases in a closed water loop, the water volume expands. When the temperature decreases, the opposite occurs. The increased volume generated by thermal expansion in the closed loop will be discharged through the pressure control valve and stored in the expansion vessel. When the p ressure sensor detects a pressure drop due to a temperature decrease, water will be pumped back into the loop. Stable and even pressure is thus continuously maintained in the closed loop. Pressosmart automatically fills the installation when there is not enough water and also protects against overflow. Renovation Existing Pressosmart installations that use open expansion vessels can be easily upgraded to the closed expansion t echnology by simply replacing the existing vessel with a closed expansion vessel. The pump module does not need to be replaced.
