A fresh water expansion tank is a device used in Plumbing and heating systems to accommodate the expansion of water as it heats up, preventing excessive pressure buildup. It typically consists of a sealed tank that contains a diaphragm or bladder, which separates the water from a cushion of air. As water heats and expands, it pushes against the diaphragm, allowing for the extra volume without causing stress on the system. This helps to maintain consistent pressure and protect pipes and appliances from damage.
