You have some quite large pipes in that boiler system, and a fairly small expansion tank. That implies a fairly hefty water volume. How did you decide what size tank was needed? There are some on-line calculators you can use but you need to know three things to have a good end result:
- total volume of water in the system
- minimum water temperature
- maximum water temperature
IF the old configuration had some air in it and now you've essentially purged the air, that could make a difference. Water doesn't compress...air does.
