We are in the process of installing My New E-100 Wood gun with an approximately 375-400 gallon storage tank. Boiler guys did half of the job on this past Saturday and hope to finish this coming Saturday. A quick question for you. The E-100 holds 60 gallons. Let's call the storage tank 400 gallons. The oil boiler holds 30 gallons. Let's throw in 20 gallons for the piping thoughout the house. For a total of 510 gallons. Can I use three smaller tanks for expansion to save money on buying a large, very expensive tank?
For example. We have an Amtrol 60, which is rated at 14 gallons for the E-100. That is greater than 10% for that. The oil boiler already has it's expansion tank that has been with it for 7 years now. No problems there. For the storage tank. Could I use three Amtrol Extrol 90s? They are rated at 14 gallons each. That would be a total of 42 gallons between the three expansion tanks. Just over the 10% mark of 40 gallons for the storage tank. Thanks for your time.
It took some looking, but I found a Danfoss 1-1/2" bypass valve. 140Deg. temp setting for $180.00.
