Description
IBO C.O. BASIC 80 Diaphragm Expansion Vessel
IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels are expansion tanks designed for closed heating and solar systems. As the 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.
For whom
- 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 to facilitate system selection and planning.
- Wholesalers and technical stores – we enable you to expand your range with an economical series of C.O. diaphragm expansion vessels available in a wide range of capacities.
- Service technicians and maintenance departments – we provide vessels with a replaceable EPDM diaphragm, facilitating servicing without replacing the entire device.
Application
- 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.
- Cooperation with closed heating-water circuits in boiler and collector systems.
IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels are not suitable for contact with oils, solvents, chemicals, petroleum-based substances, or Group 1 fluids according to Directive 2014/68/EU.
Features, description, and technical data
The IBO C.O. BASIC series from Dambat includes diaphragm 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 makes it possible to match the device to both small domestic systems and larger utility installations.
The vessel body is made of carbon steel covered with an external protective coating that provides corrosion resistance. Inside the steel shell is a replaceable diaphragm made of synthetic EPDM rubber, 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", enabling 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 covered with a protective coating
- 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 diaphragm expansion vessels
What are IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels used for?
IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels are designed for use in closed central heating and solar systems. Their primary function is to compensate for changes in the volume of the heating medium caused by temperature changes 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 comes with a 3-year warranty. GBV tanks, on the other hand, are intended for water supply and pressure-boosting systems, not for heating media.
Where can I purchase diaphragm expansion vessels from the IBO C.O. BASIC series?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly online. IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels are available from our trade 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?
Diaphragm expansion vessels from the IBO C.O. BASIC series 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 correctly install IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm 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 adjusted 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 glycol systems?
Yes – IBO C.O. BASIC diaphragm expansion vessels are approved for use 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.
