'''Buffer Tanks''' are designed for use with standard central heating systems, biomass or solid fuel systems. The buffer tank is fitted with a domestic hot water stainless steel coil that heats tap hot water on demand. | |||
==Common Types== | |||
===Chilled water Buffer Tanks=== | |||
Chilled water Buffer Tanks (CBT) are designed for chilled water systems with insufficient water volume capacity, in relation to the chiller capacity. Relatively low water volume systems require additional “buffer” capacity for the system to eliminate problems such as excessive chiller cycling, poor temperature control, and erratic system operation. The properly sized CBT adds the necessary volume to “buffer” the system volume. | |||
===Hot Water Buffer Tanks=== | |||
Hot Water Buffer Tanks (HBT) are designed for use with today’s high efficiency systems that incorporate small, modular low-mass boilers. A properly sized Hot Water Buffer Tank adds necessary thermal mass to the system to dampen fast transitions and minimize boiler cycling that occurs during zero or low domestic load conditions. | |||
