Madagascar buffer storage tank

How do you calculate a buffer storage tank?

In hot water supply systems with a given high peak consumption of hot water and heating of this water by a low-power source during the day (such a scheme is used in baths). Calculation of the buffer storage tank consists of determining the accumulative capacity of the stored volume of water.

What is a buffer storage tank?

In buffer storage tanks with two or more heat exchangers - systems with a higher temperature are connected to the upper heat exchangers, and with a lower one - to the lower ones. The buffer storage tank connected to the solid fuel boiler must store the heat generated by at least one boiler loading.

How does a buffer tank work?

This can be solved by using a buffer tank. Thanks to the large storage tank filled with central heating water, this time the heat is neatly buffered and the heat pump can simply keep running. After which the heat can still be gradually transferred from the buffer tank to the heating system.

Can a buffer tank be used for commuting?

As a result, the buffer tank has now primarily changed into a thermal battery. Although it is also still used to combat commuting. This ample storage capacity for heat, which in practice means hot central heating water, is thus specifically intended to be used at a later time.

How much energy does a buffer storage tank accumulate?

For example, if we have a buffer storage tank with a volume of 1000 liters (further on, the mass of 1 liter of water is assumed to be equal to 1 kg) and we heat it to 50°C, then it will accumulate heat energy 1000 * 50 = 50,000 kcal = 0.05 Gcal = 58 kWh.

Does a buffer tank need a heat exchanger?

Especially in the case of a buffer tank with stratified storage, an additional (stainless steel) heat exchanger can be a possibility, with which tap water can be heated, especially in the upper and thus warmest part.
