boiler plumbing question?

what is an Amtrol EXTROL model 30? it is a tank on my boiler. what is it? why use it?

Answer:

Its an expansion tank for the boiler system. It is a necessary component to your system. When the boiler water gets hot it expands. It goes into the expansion tank. If there was no expansion tank the boiler pressure would rise and exceed the set pressure of the pressure relief valve.
