MIL-HDBK-1003/6
Supply water volume = the volume from the generator outlet, through
the expansion vessel, pumps, supply
distribution system and heat exchange
equipment.
Return water volume = the volume from the heat exchanger outlet,
through the return distribution system to the
inlet side of the generator.

EQUATION:
VT = V1 + V2 + V3

where:
VT = Total expansion vessel volume
V1 = Volume required for pressurization
V2 = Volume required for expansion and contraction
V3 = Volume required for sludge space, pump suction coverage,
and reserve capacity

where:
V1
=
Minimum gas volume required for pressurization
Pmin
=
Minimum gas pressure (should be above saturation
pressure-temperature relationships)
Vmax
=
Maximum gas volume (Vmax = V2 + V3)
Pmax
=
Maximum gas pressure (should be below pressure ratings of
piping, valves, and fittings)
V2
=
Volume required for expansion and contraction
V3
=
Volume of sludge space based on 6 inches of depth plus
the greater of the following two volumes. The volume
based on sufficient water to cover the top of the pump
intake line in the expansion vessel by 6 inches or the
volume needed for a 30-second supply of water based on
combined pump capacity.
These two equations
