The \u003cstrong\u003eThermo 2000 BuffMax BUFF80-2.5NPT-HRZ-HC buffer tank\u003c\/strong\u003e offers 80 US gallons of insulated water and four 2 1\/2 in NPT side connections. Like the other BuffMax tanks, it plays three roles at once: buffer tank, storage tank and hydraulic separator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to move up to 80 gallons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size targets systems where demand varies a lot from one hour to the next. Take a triplex in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e heated by a central electric boiler: three units, three thermostats, different schedules. Or a workshop on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e heated with water, where an open garage door makes demand jump all at once. In these cases, the BUFF80’s volume lets the source run longer cycles while the distribution draws what it needs. Thermo 2000 recommends the BuffMax for low-mass boilers, heat pump systems and multi-zone systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HC code adds one more option: the same tank accepts chilled water. A building equipped with a reversible air-to-water heat pump therefore keeps a single tank for both seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2 1\/2 in connections for higher flows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo connections on each side separate the source circuit from the distribution circuit. At 2 1\/2 in NPT, they keep up with the flow of a larger loop. Three 1\/2 in connections and an immersion well let us place the temperature sensor where the source’s control needs it. The 2-inch HFC-free polyurethane insulation limits heat loss to 1\/2 °F per hour, according to the manufacturer, and the tank accepts 150 psi and 121 °C (250 °F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 75 1\/2-inch tank: ceiling height matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 75 1\/2 inches high and 24 inches in diameter, the BUFF80 has to be planned ahead. In basements in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, beams and ducts often lower the clear height. We measure the location, the door openings and the stairs before ordering. The adjustable legs then correct an uneven floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAirGreen installation and next steps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen installs the BuffMax with electric boilers and air-to-water heat pumps, in Montreal, on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the North Shore and throughout Greater Montreal.
