Taco CA full acceptance bladder Captive Air expansion tanks are applied in commercial, institutional and industrial applications for the control of pressure in hydronic systems. CA tanks use a field replaceable bladder to permanently separate the air and water. This permanent separation allows the tank to be precharged on the air side to the minimum operating or fill pressure. This eliminates many gallons of water to compress atmospheric pressure air in an air cushion or plain steel tank to the fill pressure. This allows the reduction in Captive Air expansion tank sizes of up to 80% compared to air cushion or plain steel tanks. In a bladder tank the bladder is not attached to the tank wall like a diaphragm tank. Rather it is suspended inside the tank very much like a balloon. Expanded water flows into the inside of the bladder. Air is on the outside of the bladder between the bladder and the tank. As a result no water is in contact with the tank wall minimizing corrosion. In a full acceptance bladder tank the bladder is of full acceptance volume and can expand to the full volume of the tank. As a result, the bladder will not burst if the system experiences an overpressure condition
