The APOLLO BF series tanks are an essential component for properly operating the hydronic heat pump system. When very low or no-load conditions occur, the buffer provides time for the heat pump to react and shut down correctly without spiking temperature. In winter, it also helps defrost the cycle.

The insulation prevents condensation and heat loss. These tanks are designed with everlasting corrosion resistance and come equipped with a sensor well.

Frequently Asked Questions About APOLLO Stainless Buffer Tank - 175/250gal

Most Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Other Questions

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.
