A Bladder Expansion Tank (also referred to as Thermal Expansion Tank, Glycol Tank, or Sprinkler Tank) is designed with a gas-filled bladder inside to act as a shock absorber to liquid expanding within a building's fire closed loop sprinkler system. Systems that utilize backflow preventors can suffer from over-pressure when temperature variation (excessive heat or cold) causes the antifreeze within the building's fire sprinkler lines to expand resulting in sprinkler system damage. This over-pressurization can be alleviated with a Young Engineering UL Listed bladder expansion tank which "absorbs" the expanding fluid, thereby controlling the pressure to a safe level. When the fluid contracts due to temperature cooling, the bladder expansion tank expels the fluid back into the system. If left unprotected, a building's sprinkler system can be susceptible to extreme pressure in the pipes, fittings and sprinklers themselves; reducing the useful life of these parts. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 13) requires the use of expansion chambers in antifreeze systems which use backflow preventors. A Young Engineering UL Listed bladder expansion tank is designed to protect a building's anti-freeze sprinkler system from the damaging effects of thermal expansion.
