A well-maintained buffer tank typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more, depending on quality, usage, and maintenance.
A buffer tank stores a small volume of heated or chilled water to stabilize system temperature and prevent short cycling, while a storage tank holds a larger volume of water primarily for immediate use, such as domestic hot water supply.
What is the rule of thumb for buffer tank sizing? A common rule of thumb for buffer tank sizing is to provide 3 to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 Btu/hr of boiler firing rate, ensuring sufficient thermal mass to reduce short cycling and stabilize system temperature.
A buffer tank reduces short cycling, stabilizes temperature, and improves energy efficiency by storing excess heat or cooling in a hydronic system.
A buffer tank is used when you need to increase the thermal mass in a heating or cooling system to reduce short cycling of the boiler or chiller, improve system stability, and ensure consistent flow, especially in systems with variable or low load demands.
