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. It keeps the series’ 3-in-1 principle: buffer tank, storage tank and hydraulic separator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the ASME version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your building plans or engineer require an ASME tank, this model and its larger 175 and 200-gallon siblings are the BuffMax tanks to consider. 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. Thermo 2000 recommends the BuffMax for low-mass boilers, heat pump systems and multi-zone systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the HT code means for your project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HT suffix indicates a tank intended for heating water. 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. The on-site estimate is free and the quote is written. On installation day, we place the tank, connect it on the source side and the distribution side, install the supplied accessories, then fill, purge and commission the loop. AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than 15 years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 (ventilation, refrigeration and electrical). Thermo 2000 warrants the tank for 5 years in heating applications and the mechanical parts for 2 years, under its terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSend us the mechanical specification or the plans for your project: we confirm the ASME size that fits.
