Description
IBO C.O. 19 BASIC Expansion Vessel
IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels are expansion tanks designed for closed heating and solar systems. As a manufacturer, we designed the BASIC series to effectively compensate for changes in the volume of the heating medium, stabilizing pressure and protecting the system against excessive pressure increases. The series is available in capacities from 8 to 100 liters, in wall-mounted and floor-standing versions.
Who it is for
- HVAC installation companies – we supply proven, ready-to-install components for building safe closed heating and solar systems.
- Heating system designers – we offer vessels with specific pressure and capacity data, making system selection and planning easier.
- Wholesalers and technical stores – we enable you to expand your range with an economical series of C.O. expansion vessels available in a wide range of capacities.
- Service technicians and maintenance departments – we provide vessels with replaceable EPDM diaphragms, facilitating servicing without replacing the entire device.
Applications
- Maintaining and equalizing pressure in closed central heating systems – compensating for changes in the volume of the medium resulting from heating.
- Operation in solar systems with a medium containing up to 50% glycol.
- Protecting heating systems in residential buildings, agricultural facilities, and small industrial installations.
- Working with closed heating-water circuits in boiler and collector systems.
IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels are not suitable for contact with oils, solvents, chemical liquids, petroleum-based substances, or Group 1 fluids according to Directive 2014/68/EU.
Features, description, and technical data
The IBO C.O. BASIC series by Dambat includes expansion vessels for heating and solar systems, available in two mounting configurations: wall-mounted vessels with capacities of 8, 12, 19, and 24 liters, and floor-standing vessels with capacities of 36, 50, 80, and 100 liters. This selection of variants allows the device to be matched to both small domestic systems and larger utility installations.
The vessel body is made of carbon steel coated with an external protective paint that provides corrosion resistance. A replaceable diaphragm made of synthetic EPDM rubber is installed inside the steel shell; it is characterized by high tensile strength and resistance to high temperatures. The diaphragm completely separates the heating medium from the compressed air cushion, preventing internal corrosion of the body.
BASIC series vessels are equipped with a valve for regulating the pressure inside the tank and a replaceable galvanized steel flange with a diameter of ¾", allowing the vessel to be connected to an existing pipe system.
Common parameters of the IBO C.O. BASIC series:
- Diaphragm: YES – replaceable, EPDM
- Connection: ¾" (replaceable galvanized flange)
- Pre-charge pressure: 1.5 bar (±10%)
- Operating temperature: from 0°C to 99°C
- Body: carbon steel coated with protective paint
- Flange: galvanized steel
Warranty: IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat is the only authorized service provider.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels
What are IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels used for?
IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels are designed for operation in closed central heating and solar systems. Their main function is to compensate for changes in the volume of the heating medium caused by temperature fluctuations and to continuously stabilize pressure, protecting the system against excessive pressure increases and hydraulic failures.
How does the IBO C.O. BASIC series differ from IBO ITALY C.O. vessels and GBV tanks?
IBO C.O. BASIC is an economical IBO series dedicated to closed heating and solar systems, with an EPDM diaphragm and a pre-charge pressure of 1.5 bar, covered by a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty. The IBO ITALY C.O. series is the equivalent from the IBO ITALY line and is covered by a 3-year warranty. GBV tanks, on the other hand, are intended for water supply and pressure-booster systems – not for heating media.
Where can I purchase expansion vessels from the IBO C.O. BASIC series?
As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly online. IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels are available from our commercial partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors cooperating with the Dambat brand.
What is the warranty period, and where should I report a service issue?
IBO C.O. BASIC series expansion vessels are covered by a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat is the only authorized service provider – the contact form is available at dambat.pl/pages/serwis.
How should I properly install IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels?
Wall-mounted vessels (8–24 l) are installed horizontally on the return line to the heater. Floor-standing vessels (36–100 l) are installed vertically.
How can I check the pre-charge pressure in IBO C.O. BASIC vessels?
The pressure is regulated through the air valve located on the vessel. Pressure is replenished using a standard compressor. The factory pre-charge pressure of the IBO C.O. BASIC series is 1.5 bar (±10%).
Are IBO C.O. BASIC vessels suitable for systems containing glycol?
Yes – IBO C.O. BASIC expansion vessels are approved for operation with mixtures of water and ethylene or propylene glycol, provided that the glycol content does not exceed 50%. The devices are not suitable for contact with oils, solvents, chemical liquids, or petroleum-based substances.
