There is not such component in Energyplus. Pressure simulation is secondary in E+ and much based in input data for losses in components.
I also agree in that you should define the objective of including that object (thermal losses, pressure simulation, circuit volume capacitance...) so that you may define a equivalent model. I am not sure what kind of result you are looking for. Those tank are intended to absorb water thermal expansion. In a typical E+ simulation, those effects are not accounted...

to adjust the pressure of the central heating systems. It means when water became hot its volume increases, and this increased volume go to" the open expansion tank" to prevent from increase of the loop pressure and when water became cold and it's volume decreased, the water leave the "open expansion tank" to ncrease the pressure and prevent from the minus pressure.
