The \u003cstrong\u003eThermo 2000 BuffMax BUFF30-1.5NPT-HRZ-HC buffer tank\u003c\/strong\u003e handles this in a single 30 US gallon vessel. The manufacturer presents it as a 3-in-1: buffer tank, storage tank and hydraulic separator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe role of a hydraulic separator in a multi-zone house\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BUFF30 has four 1 1\/2 in NPT side connections, two on each side. On one side, the electric boiler or air-to-water heat pump circulates its water through the tank. On the other, the zone circulators draw the water they need. The two circuits no longer interfere: a zone that closes does not change the flow through the source, and the source does not impose its pressure on the zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture a house in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e with a radiant floor in the basement, another in the kitchen and bathrooms each controlled by their own thermostat. Or a duplex on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e where each unit has its own zone. In both cases, heat calls are small and staggered. The tank’s 30 US gallons give the source enough water to run longer cycles. Thermo 2000 recommends the BuffMax precisely for multi-zone systems, low-mass boilers and heat pump systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions and connection in the mechanical room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is 62 1\/2 inches high and 18 inches in diameter. It stands on adjustable legs and comes with a 1\/2 in ball valve, a 1\/2 in automatic air vent, a 2 1\/2 in temperature and pressure indicator, an immersion well and a 3\/4 in drain valve. Three additional 1\/2 in connections let us place the temperature sensor at the height that suits your source’s control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-inch HFC-free polyurethane insulation limits heat loss to 1\/2 °F per hour, according to Thermo 2000. The tank accepts up to 150 psi and 121 °C (250 °F). Thanks to the HC code, it takes heating water as well as chilled water. One rule never changes: it works in a closed loop and must not be connected to domestic hot water or to an atmospheric system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur installation, step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree on-site visit and estimate, anywhere in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e: we note the source, the zones and the space available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA written quote that states the size chosen and the work planned.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting the tank, connecting the source side and the zone side, placing the sensor in the immersion well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling, purging the air and commissioning, with a check of each zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than 15 years.
