Your house gets hot water through the stored hot water tank, it also supplies heat to the central heating radiators. The expansion tank has adequate space to accommodate any water expansion that occurs due to heat. You will most likely find the expansion tank kept in the highest part of the house.

All the required controls and safety devices are incorporated into the sealed Gas Central Heating systems. The water for a sealed Central Heating System is supplied direct from the main water supply. It is plumbed straight into the main water supply.
Pressure variation can be regulated by a pressure vessel holding compressed gas; the hot water is pressurized by a diaphragm which also separates the water from the compressed gas. The safety valve opens up when the pressure in the system rises so that water can escape through it, on the other hand it opens up when the pressure drops down so that the water can refill the system.
