Buffer energy storage tank installation diagram

How does a buffer storage tank function?

A buffer storage tank stores heat or cooling energy and can be charged via the heat pump, solar energy, or an electric immersion heater. In the case of active cooling, it can also store cooling energy. The controller manages heating/cooling, forced charging, and protects the tank against overtemperatures, maintaining stratification whenever possible.

What are the ways to charge a buffer storage tank?

A buffer storage tank can be charged via the heat pump, by solar energy or by an electric immersion heater. In the case of active cooling, it can also be used for storing cooling energy. The controller controls heating / cooling and forced charging of the buffer storage tank, protects it against overtemperatures and maintains stratification whenever possible.

How does a buffer storage tank heat source work?

In the RVS61 heat pump controller, a heat request from consumers is passed directly to the heat sources. With B4, if the temperature at sensor B4 is high enough, the heat source is locked, allowing consumers to draw the heat they require from the buffer storage tank. This ensures there is no generation lock due to the buffer storage tank temperature.

What are the dimensions of the buffer tank?

The buffer tank was produced in June 1991, with dimensions of Φ2490 × 9200 × 12 mm.

What is a bufer tank used for?

bufer tank is used in heat pump and boiler hydronic systems to prevent equipment short-cycling, reduced system eficiency, and reduced equipment life due to a mismatch between the equipment output (BTUs) when operating and the system load (BTUs) at any point in time.

Can a buffer tank be used in a hydronic system?

Buffer tanks are to be used in hydronic heating and/or cooling systems only. All local plumbing codes must be adhered to. Do not operate beyond specifications on the rating plate. Failure to comply can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
