A conventional boiler system is fed by two tanks which are located in the loft. One of these, the cold water storage tank, draws cold water from the mains supply. The other is the feed and expansion tank, which feeds the boiler system and manages any water that expands in the system after being heated.

This bell-shaped device opens and sends makeup water into the heating boiler and its piping whenever the heating system's internal water pressure falls below a normal level. The feed-pressure is typically factor-set to 12 psi when the boiler is cold, but adjustable where higher starting water pressure is needed for taller buildings.

The hot water heating system needs an expansion tank to work properly and maintain proper pressure. As the hydronic heating system heats the water in the loop, the water needs a cushion storage tank. That is for the increased pressure and volume of water. The system pressurizes, and the expansion of the water needs a place to go.
