The invention discloses an expansion tank for a water supply system of a plate type heat exchanger unit. The expansion tank comprises a tank body, wherein a water inlet pipe is fixedly mounted at thetop of the tank body, a first electromagnetic valve is fixed to the end, away from the tank body, of the water inlet pipe, a first skin bag chamber is formed in the position, located below the water inlet pipe, in the tank body, a plurality of water delivery skin bag pipes are uniformly arranged at the bottom of the first skin bag chamber, a second skin bag chamber is fixed to the ends, away fromthe first skin bag chamber, of the water delivery skin bag pipes, and is located in the tank body, a drain pipe is fixed to the bottom of the second skin bag chamber, and a second electromagnetic valve is fixed to the end, away from the tank body, of the drain pipe. By means of the first skin bag chamber and the second skin bag chamber, the contact area of gas and water can be increased, water canbe subjected to relatively uniform pressure bearing during draining, so that pressing uniformity of water in the first skin bag chamber and the second skin bag chamber is increased, and the drainingeffect of the expansion tank is improved.
