Intended Use
Buffer tanks are used for storage and transfer of ener-
gy contained in the heating medium. The main task of
the buffer tanks with capacities of 40 L and 100 L is
to increase capacity of the heating circuit. In addition,
the 100 L tank is a hydraulic coupler is in the heating
system. The accumulated energy is transferred to the
heating system. Buffer tanks can operate with a va-
riety of heat sources in central heating systems such
as heat pumps, solid fuel boilers, solar heating sys-
tems, etc.When used in the system containing a solid
fuel-fi red boiler, the low capacity tank improves the
uniform heat removal. It reduces the amount of fi re
ups and additionally enables the boiler operation at
the design power rating. This also enhances the effi -
ciency and life of the boiler.
When operating with a heat pump, the buffer tank task
is to increase the capacity of the heating system. The
use of buffer limits the number of compressor star-
t-ups, which extends its life. NIBE buffer tanks ena-
ble operation with virtually any type of central heating
system. During the installation and operation, always
follow the instructions in this Manual.
CAUTION
Buffer tanks are designed for heating up and
supplying the heating medium. Any inap-
propriate use, not in compliance with its
intended use is not permitted. Neither ma-
nufacturer nor supplier shall be responsible
for damages resulting from this.
