The \u003cstrong\u003eThermo 2000 BuffMax BUFF175A-3NPT-HRZ-HT buffer tank\u003c\/strong\u003e provides 175 US gallons of insulated heating water, in a vessel built to Section VIII, Division 1, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Like the whole series, it combines buffer tank, storage tank and hydraulic separator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe middle size of the ASME series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 offers three ASME BuffMax tanks: 120, 175 and 200 gallons. The BUFF175A is the one we select when the loop calculation goes beyond the first size without justifying the largest. Take a multi-storey building in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e where each unit has its own thermostat, or a commercial building on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e whose zones open and close with business hours. The reserve lets the source run longer cycles, while the four 3 in NPT connections, split two per side, isolate its circuit from the distribution circuit. These multi-zone loops, supplied by a low-mass boiler or a heat pump, are exactly what Thermo 2000 recommends the BuffMax for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn 87-inch tank is planned before delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 87 inches high and 32 inches in diameter, the BUFF175A does not fit everywhere. Before ordering, we measure the clear height of the mechanical room, the door widths, the stairs and the path from the truck. Lifting lugs make handling easier; once in place, the tank stands on adjustable legs. Supplied accessories: 1\/2 in ball valve and automatic air vent, 2 1\/2 in temperature and pressure indicator, immersion well and 3\/4 in drain valve, in addition to three 1\/2 in well connections on the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn insulation, Thermo 2000 announces 2 inches of HFC-free polyurethane and heat loss limited to 1\/2 °F per hour. The maximum working pressure is 125 psi, the ASME value published by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeating only, in a closed loop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HT suffix means heating water. For a loop that also carries chilled water, you need an HC BuffMax, which is not built to the ASME code. The BXT option, which adds centre connections, is not available on ASME models. And the tank is never connected to domestic hot water or to an atmospheric system. If your specification requires a CRN number, note that the manufacturer’s documentation does not state one: we confirm it with Thermo 2000 before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AirGreen does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree on-site visit and estimate, in Montreal, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e or on the South Shore.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA written quote, with the size chosen and the handling plan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery, setting the tank and connecting the source side and the distribution side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling, purging and commissioning the loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA family business established in Montreal for more than 15 years, AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work.
