The FILL-TROL System Expansion Control with Automatic Fill Feature


The AMTROL FILL-TROL system consists of a specially
adapted EXTROL pre-pressurized, diaphragm-type
expansion tank, and the FILL-TROL, a specially designed,
automatic, pressure-reducing fill valve.
Provides accurate system make up
Eliminates need for a separate, automatic fill valve
Fully adjustable up to a maximum working pressure of 100 psig
Factory pre-charged to 12 psig; tank pressure controls system fill

How the FILL-TROL


System Works
Water enters the FILL-TROL valve,
pushing open the check valve, and
flows into the heating system. The
automatic shut-off valve is kept open
by the diaphragm pressing against
the pressure plate, raising the stem
of the fill gate, which compresses the
automatic shut-off valve spring.
When the heating system reaches fill
pressure (typically 12 psig), the tank's
diaphragm depresses and the
automatic shut-off valve is closed.
Whenever system pressure falls below
the tank precharge, the automatic
shut-off valve is pressed open by the
diaphragm. Make-up water flows into
the system to restore pressure.

These recommendations are calculated on average boiler water volumes and the average water volumes of currently popular types of radiation and piping systems. The industry operating standards of 12 psig fill
pressure and 30 psig relief pressure are used. For boiler sizes or operating conditions other than above, refer to page 8, or consult our technical department for recommendations.
