✔ Multi-Source Input and Output — Central Thermal Buffer — Designed to combine multiple heat sources as both inputs and outputs, the buffer cylinder acts as the thermal hub of a renewable energy system.

✔ Thermal Mass for System Stability — The buffer adds essential thermal mass to the system, absorbing rapid load fluctuations and minimising compressor and boiler short-cycling during low domestic demand periods.

✔ Up to 95°C Operating Temperature — High-Temperature Compatible — Rated for operating temperatures up to 95°C, accommodating the full output range of high-temperature heat sources and supporting thermal disinfection requirements without system limitation.

✔ Flexible Time-of-Day Heating — Optimised Energy Tariff Management — The ability to heat stored water at different times of day enables intelligent scheduling around off-peak tariffs, solar generation periods, and grid demand signals.

✔ Fixed Coil — Secondary Heat Source Integration — An integrated fixed coil provides a dedicated heat exchange circuit for connection to a secondary heat source, supporting straightforward multi-source system configuration without additional external components.

✔ 1½″ Heating Element Connection — Up to 9kW Direct Electric Backup — A dedicated 1½″ connection accepts specific heating element kits rated up to 9kW, providing direct electric backup or supplementary heating capability when primary heat sources are insufficient.

✔ Ready-to-Install Probe Holders — Simplified Sensor Integration — Pre-installed ½″ threaded probe holders with sensor clips provide immediately accessible temperature sensor connection points, reducing installation time and ensuring accurate system monitoring from commissioning.

✔ Solar Compatible — Fully compatible with solar thermal systems, making the buffer cylinder a natural component within a broader renewable energy installation without additional modification.

✔ Carbon Steel Tank With PUR Insulation and PVC Coating — Raw carbon steel construction with external powder paint finish, high-density polyurethane insulation shells, and a soft PVC external coating.

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.
