Description
SOLAR 8 IBO ITALY diaphragm expansion vessel – expansion vessel for solar systems
The SOLAR 8 IBO ITALY diaphragm expansion vessel has a capacity of 8 L and is designed for solar collector systems. It accommodates the thermal expansion of the solar fluid and stabilizes the pressure in the circuit, limiting fluctuations during large temperature changes. Inside, it has an EPDM diaphragm resistant to the high temperatures typical of solar systems.
Who is it for
- Solar installation contractors – the 3/4" connection and high-temperature-resistant EPDM diaphragm make installation in a solar collector circuit easier.
- Solar collector installations – the vessel accommodates the increase in solar fluid volume as it heats up, maintaining stable pressure in the circuit.
- High-temperature systems – the operating range of up to 100°C (up to 130°C for short periods) suits the conditions in solar installations.
- Technical servicing – the 2.5 bar pre-charge pressure and simple design make commissioning and periodic inspections easier.
Applications
The IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel absorbs the thermal expansion of the solar fluid in the solar collector circuit, maintaining stable pressure and limiting fluctuations as the system heats up and cools down.
It is used in solar installations operating with solar fluid, usually a glycol solution. The IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel can be installed vertically or horizontally, on the suction side of the circulation pump.
Features of the IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel – description and technical data
The vessel body is made of steel coated with a protective exterior finish that increases corrosion resistance. A high-temperature- and stretch-resistant EPDM rubber diaphragm is fitted inside the steel shell, allowing it to withstand the typical operating conditions of solar circuits. The diaphragm separates the solar fluid from the compressed gas cushion, limiting its contact with the inside of the vessel.
The vessel is supplied with a factory pre-charge pressure of 2.5 bar ±10%, which can be adjusted to suit the specific installation. It is compatible with solar circuits with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar and a temperature range of −10 to 100°C, up to 130°C for short periods.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel
What is the IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel used for?
The IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel absorbs the thermal expansion of the solar fluid in the solar collector circuit and stabilizes the system pressure. This limits pressure fluctuations caused by major temperature changes in the solar system.
What is the difference between the SOLAR vessel and the IBO ITALY CO version?
The SOLAR vessel is designed for solar collector circuits, works with solar fluid (a glycol solution), and has an EPDM diaphragm resistant to high temperatures, with a pre-charge pressure of 2.5 bar. The IBO ITALY CO version is designed for central heating systems and has a pre-charge pressure of 1.5 bar.
What is the vessel’s pre-charge pressure, and can it be changed?
The factory pre-charge pressure is 2.5 bar ±10%. It can be adjusted to the fluid column height and solar system specifications by adding or releasing gas through the valve on the vessel connection, with the system isolated and depressurized.
How do I install the IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel?
The vessel can be installed vertically or horizontally, with a 3/4" connection, in the solar circuit. It is recommended to install it on the suction side of the circulation pump and adjust the pre-charge pressure to the system specifications before start-up.
Where can I buy the IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel is available from commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel have?
The IBO ITALY SOLAR 8 diaphragm expansion vessel comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
