(OP)
Is there any rule of thumb for determining the size of a diaphragm expansion tank for a simple closed loop water/glycol coolant system. (ie by a certain percent of total volume, or by anything else???)

RE: expansion tank
For example, some water/glycol systems will fill the expansion tank when system temperature goes up, and other systems will actually experience a decreasing expansion tank inventory as the system is heated.
This all depends on the nature of the system fluid, the piping system, the temperature extremes, the pressure changes, etc.
