✔ 120 Litre Buffer Tank — Hydraulic Separation and Thermal Storage — The CE-B120 provides 120 litres of buffered water volume within the heat pump circuit, delivering effective hydraulic separation and thermal storage to support stable, efficient system operation at greater scale than the CE-B60.

✔ Reduces Heat Pump Cycling — Compressor Longevity Protected — By maintaining a substantial thermal buffer between the heat pump and the distribution circuit, the CE-B120 actively reduces compressor short-cycling — extending operational lifespan and improving overall system efficiency throughout.

✔ Integrated Expansion Volume — Separate Vessel Eliminated — Configurable to provide 100 litres of buffer water alongside 20 litres of dedicated expansion volume, negating the need for a separate expansion vessel subject to system piping arrangement — reducing component count and simplifying installation.

✔ 50mm Foam-Filled Insulation — High Thermal Efficiency — A full 50mm foam-filled insulation jacket minimises standing heat losses from the buffer volume, maintaining stored water temperature and reducing unnecessary energy consumption between heat pump cycles.

✔ Flexible Installation Configuration — Wall Hung, Freestanding, or Stacked — Designed to be installed wall-hung, freestanding, or stacked directly above or below a hot water cylinder, accommodating a wide range of plant room layouts and space constraints without compromise.

✔ Comprehensive Connection Array — Ready for Any System Configuration — Five 1½″ female sockets, one ½″ probe pocket, one ¾″ drain-off socket underneath, one 2¼″ immersion port, and one ½″ male PRV fitting provide a fully specified connection layout — adaptable to virtually any system design without additional modification.

Additional Information

01. DOWNLOAD PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Data Sheet

02. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A BUFFER TANK IN A HEAT PUMP SYSTEM?

A buffer tank adds thermal mass and increases system water volume, helping to maintain stable flow rates through the heat pump. This reduces compressor short cycling, stabilises flow and return temperatures, and improves overall efficiency — particularly in zoned systems or low-load conditions.

03. HOW DO I DETERMINE THE CORRECT BUFFER TANK SIZE FOR MY HEAT PUMP?

Buffer tank sizing depends on heat pump output, control strategy, and system volume. A common design guideline is approximately 10–20 litres per kW of heat pump capacity, though requirements vary by manufacturer and system layout. Larger systems or highly zoned installations may benefit from increased buffer volume.

04. CAN COOL ENERGY BUFFER TANKS ACT AS LOW-LOSS HEADERS?

Yes. Cool Energy buffer tanks can function as combined buffer vessels and low-loss headers, providing hydraulic separation between the heat pump circuit and the heating distribution circuit. Multiple connection ports allow flexible pipework arrangements while maintaining stable flow through the heat pump.

05. WHEN IS A BUFFER TANK RECOMMENDED FOR HEAT PUMP INSTALLATIONS?

A buffer tank is recommended where the system water volume is insufficient, where multiple heating zones are controlled independently, or where mixed emitters such as radiators and underfloor heating are used. Many heat pump manufacturers require a buffer tank to meet flow and volume requirements and to protect warranty conditions.

06. WHO SHOULD INSTALL THE BUFFER TANK?

A Cool Energy buffer tank or low loss header should be installed by a qualified heating engineer with experience in heat pump systems. Where the buffer tank forms part of a heat pump installation, the overall system must be designed and commissioned by an MCS-certified installer to meet manufacturer requirements and maintain system warranty.

07. WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY ORDER?

Please expect your delivery to arrive within 7 working days. You will receive email alerts once you've placed your order.
