In the air conditioning and domestic hot water (DHW) production sector, efficiency and performance are two important factors. Buffer tanks have emerged as an effective solution to improve the stability and performance of heating and cooling systems, especially aerothermal systems.
In this article, we will explore what a buffer tank is, how it works, it’s applications and you will also learn about the new HydroConnect from Efitherma. A new and exclusive tank that takes this concept a step further, thanks to it’s double buffer tank, which can offer DHW and air conditioning.
A buffer tank is a tank designed to thermal energy store in the form of hot or cold water. It’s main purpose is to optimize the operation of air conditioning systems, such as boilers or heat pumps.
The buffer tank acts as a thermal energy store that regulates the temperature of the system according to demand:
Yes, buffer tanks are highly compatible with renewable energy systems, such as:
The capacity of a buffer tank can vary widely, from 50 liters to over 1000 liters, depending on the needs of the system.
100 / 300 Liters
500 / 1,000 Liters or more
Capacities greater than 1,000 Liters
Choosing the right size depends on factors such as the power of the boiler or heat pump, the heating or cooling demand and the number of users.
In the case of a double buffer tank, the Efitherma HydroConnect model has a capacity of 180 litres for DHW and 75 litres for buffer, which is suitable to meet the needs of an average sized home. To decide the ideal capacity for your case, it is advisable to consult a professional.
Buffer tanks require minimal maintenance, but it is essential to ensure their proper functioning and prolong their lifespan. The main tasks include:
The lifespan of a buffer tank is usually 15 to 20 years, depending on:
Although the initial investment may be somewhat higher compared to traditional systems, the long term savings it generates in terms of space, energy efficiency and installation and maintenance costs make it a profitable investment.
Buffer tanks are very versatile and can be installed in various locations, depending on the available space and the characteristics of the system:
A double buffer tank is an advanced solution that stores water for both air conditioning and domestic hot water, which differentiates it from a conventional buffer tank.
| Characteristics | Buffer Tank | Double Buffer Tank |
|---|---|---|
Function | Thermal storage for heating | Storage for air conditioning and DHW |
Use | Heating or cooling systems | Air conditioning and DHW supply systems |
Applications | Underfloor heating and heat pumps | Homes and buildings with DHW and air conditioning needs |
Advantages | Stabilizes temperature and reduces equipment wear | It saves space, increases energy efficiency and is quick and easy to install. |
At Efitherma, we have the HydroConnect model, a highly efficient double buffer tank for domestic hot water and air conditioning. This tank has a series of features that make it stand out in the market:
HydroConnect offers a storage capacity of 180 litres for DHW and 75 litres for buffer, allowing for an adequate supply for both domestic hot water and air conditioning.
It includes different outlets located at the top to connect it to the DHW system, the air conditioning system and the heat pump or chiller (aerothermal, geothermal, etc.), making its installation quick and easy.
This tank is specifically designed to be combined with a heat pump (aerothermal, geothermal, etc.).
Efitherma’s HydroConnect model is not only an example of innovation in DHW storage and air conditioning, but also offers practical and long-lasting benefits:
With its efficiency oriented design, HydroConnect reduces energy consumption and costs associated with the production of DHW and air conditioning.
Made from high quality materials, this double buffer tank guarantees a long service life, maintaining safety standards at all times.
It incorporates safety features such as protection against legionella bacterium, ensuring the healthiness of the stored water.
