Thermo 2000 designs it as a 3-in-1 unit: it works as a buffer tank, a storage tank and a hydraulic separator at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the 20-gallon size is designed for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern electric boiler holds little water. When a single small zone calls for heat, such as a bathroom with a radiant floor, the boiler reaches its temperature quickly, shuts off, then starts again a few minutes later. Air-to-water heat pumps also benefit from running longer cycles. The BUFF20 adds a reserve of hot water to the loop: the source runs longer each time it starts and the zones draw from the tank. Thermo 2000 recommends the BuffMax for low-mass boilers, heat pump systems and multi-zone systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size suits small systems best: a basement heated by a radiant floor, a condo or small plex heated with water, an attached garage, or a house with many small zones. The HC code means it also accepts chilled water, so the same tank stays in place if your air-to-water heat pump feeds fan coils for cooling in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA tank that fits in a small mechanical room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 54 inches high and 16 inches in diameter, the BUFF20 fits next to a wall-hung boiler, in a basement utility room or in a mechanical closet with enough clearance.

The \u003cstrong\u003eThermo 2000 BuffMax BUFF120A-3NPT-HRZ-HT buffer tank\u003c\/strong\u003e meets this requirement: its 120 US gallons are held in a vessel built to Section VIII, Division 1, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Thermo 2000 gives it a maximum working pressure of 125 psi. Its four 3 in NPT side connections, two on each side, separate the source circuit from the distribution circuit, and three 1\/2 in connections plus an immersion well take the temperature sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source can be an electric boiler serving a building in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, or an air-to-water heat pump heating several zones of a commercial building in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e. In both cases, the tank lets the source run longer cycles while the zones draw the water they need.

If your loop must also carry chilled water for cooling, you need an HC version of the BuffMax, which is not built to the ASME code. We sort this out with you from the estimate stage. Another point from the manufacturer: the BXT option, which adds connections at the centre of the tank, is not available on ASME models. Finally, like every BuffMax, this tank works in a closed loop and is never connected to domestic hot water or to an atmospheric system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling and location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is 78 1\/4 inches high and 28 inches in diameter. It has lifting lugs for handling and stands on adjustable legs. The 2-inch HFC-free polyurethane insulation limits heat loss to 1\/2 °F per hour, according to the manufacturer. The tank comes with a 1\/2 in ball valve and automatic air vent, a 2 1\/2 in temperature and pressure indicator, an immersion well and a 3\/4 in drain valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install the BUFF120A in Montreal, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and throughout Greater Montreal, with electric boilers and air-to-water heat pumps.
