Buffer storage tank Connection between multiple buffer storage tanks Tichelmann connection for higher outputs For parallel connection with one-sided connection, the volume of the second buffer is integrated using the thermosiphon principle. The exchange between the two tanks is driven only by gravity and limited by the hydraulic resistance of the junctions.
The basic principle of the internal Tichelmann is diagonal flow; Two buffers are connected together at the top and bottom (= parallel connection). For output up to 90 kW, a connection with DN 32 (ETA buffer connection set) is sufficient, for 30 kW use at least R1" or 28 mm copper. On one tank, the boiler outlet is connected at the top; on the other the boiler return is connected at the bottom.
