Buffer Tanks

For domestic and commercial application, the Buffer/ Accumulator tank, or thermal store, enables the highest level of efficiency and flexibility in water based heating systems. The Buffer tanks we supply are highly insulated thermal storage vessels ranging in capacity filled with the primary water of the heating system. Their function is to collect and store heat energy from any source and to allow flexible use of the heat energy, either directly for space heating or via an internal heat exchanger for hot water. An accumulator tank can be used in conjunction with all sources of renewable energy and if the energy is not needed at the time of generation the tank will store it for later use.

  • Principles of Operation

    Buffer Tanks/ Thermal Stores are tanks that act as a store of heat to prevent the heating system from over exertion due to fluctuations in the heat demand. Thermal Store cylinders work in the oppo...

  • Benefits

    - Storage of heating water. When the building requires less energy than is produced, the buffer accumulates the remainder, which can be used later so the boiler/heat pump won\'t need to start again ...

  • System Design

    With many different types of heating systems available and it is very important to choose the correct option available to suit your specific needs. With many years experience in this area Ashgrove can...

  • Controls

    The temperature control of and accumulation/ buffer tank is governed by the heating system supplying it. Integrated sensor pockets allow for accurate system temperature control. This increases the sys...
