Thats how it works in residential applications. Ive been on 1000's of calls for failed exp tanks on closed loops systems. On arrival the relief valve of water heaters spewing all over the place.
Why would a RV be any different?
Why do you think your relief valve weeps in your RV? Mine does when water is heating..
With air pocket.........pressure increases to roughly 110--115 PSI
(Depends on initial water tamp & density)
T&P Relief Valve OPEN (Spew) at 210*F/150 psi (reset when pressure drops to 125 PSI)
WEEPING is due to loss of that air pocket....water can't be compressed/air can
You can flame me all you want. I have thick skin... Im just bringing up a valid point..
I did fail to realize there is a spring check in the water inlet:E
More so why a accumulator or exp tank is beneficial...
RV Plumbing System is a 'closed loop' AND a small one.
Air Pocket in water heater plays a big part in that system
Just saying........
