HP-120 Hydronic Expansion Tank

120-Liter (32 Gallon) Tank for Hydronic Heating & Cooling Systems| Aquasky HYDRO-PLUS Series | Made in Taiwan

HP-120 is designed specifically to absorb expanded fluid in closed-loop residential or commercial hydronic heating and cooling systems, effectively regulating pressure buildup and ensuring system safety.

HP-120 has a total volume of 120 liters (32 gallons). The tank is designed for a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar (150 psi) and a maximum operating temperature of 130 °C (266 °F). It is factory pre-charged to 1 bar (15 psi) for stable system performance and is fully compatible with propylene glycol mixture concentrations of up to 50%.

With a diameter of 39.0 cm (15.4 inches) and a height of 113.9 cm (44.8 inches), this tall, stand-model tank comes with a heavy-duty base, providing massive expansion absorption for demanding commercial and large-scale residential climate-control systems.

HP-120

Product Overview

The HP-120 is a 120-liter (32 gallon) hydronic expansion tank engineered specifically for closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems. As the fluid in your climate-control system changes temperature, it expands and contracts; the HP-120 safely absorbs this expanded fluid volume, effectively controlling the excessive pressure generated inside the system and preventing potential hazards.

Built with a robust sheet steel tank, the HP-120 utilizes a specialized, high-temperature-resistant EPDM rubber diaphragm to ensure exceptionally safe and reliable operation. To guarantee supreme durability, every single Hydro-Plus model is subjected to rigorous hydraulic testing at a pressure 1.5 times higher than the design pressure.

Manufactured with premium materials, welded according to strict ASME & EN procedures by certified welders, and compliant with IAPMO and EN standards, Aquasky HYDRO-PLUS tanks are the ultimate safety choice for your hydronic heating system, delivering a long service life and dependable performance.

Materials & Design Advantages

How the HYDRO-PLUS Pressure Tank Works

In closed hydronic heating and cooling systems, fluid volume changes drastically as the temperature rises and falls. The HP-120 safely absorbs this expanded fluid using a sealed, compressible air cushion space. It stores the fluid securely against the high-temperature EPDM rubber diaphragm, while the air chamber compresses to accommodate the volume change. This mechanism seamlessly controls excessive pressure, protects valves and piping, and maintains safe system parameters without venting fluid.

Key benefits

  • Absorbs excess fluid volume during thermal cycles.
  • Protects system components (boilers, piping, valves) from damaging high pressure. 
  • Delivers a safe and stable system for residential and commercial hydronic applications. 
  • Guarantees peace of mind through strict manufacturing standards and a 1.5x design pressure hydraulic test

Typical Applications 

  • Large-scale closed-loop residential and commercial hydronic heating systems
  • High-capacity hydronic cooling installations
  • Non-potable water applications (compatible with up to 50% propylene glycol mixtures)

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

Q1 : I have limited floor space in my utility room, but need over 30 gallons of capacity. Will the HP-120 fit better than a wider tank?

A: Yes, the HP-120 features a slimmer 15.4-inch diameter (compared to the 17-inch HP-100), achieving its 32-gallon capacity by being taller (44.8 inches) to save valuable floor space.

Q2 : How does the HP-120 ensure long-term reliability in high-temperature systems?
A: Rated for temperatures up to 130°C (266°F), the HP-120 features a specialized EPDM diaphragm that remains flexible and leak-proof even under constant thermal cycling. This high heat tolerance prevents the diaphragm from becoming brittle, which is a common cause of failure in standard tanks.
Q3 : Can the HP-120 be used in district heating or large cooling plants?

A : Absolutely. Its 120-liter volume and compatibility with 50% glycol mixtures make it a perfect fit for large-scale cooling plants and district heating networks. It provides the robust pressure stabilization needed to protect expensive commercial chillers and industrial boilers from thermal shock and pressure spikes.
