Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank

The Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank is a pressurized composite buffer tank designed for hydronic heating and cooling systems. It is better insulated than traditional steel tanks, roughly half the weight, and designed to resist corrosion and rust.

Its composite construction and insulated design make it suitable for hydronic systems, low-mass boiler systems, and chilled-water applications where thermal storage and hydraulic separation are needed.


Insulation & Performance

  • Corrosion-resistant composite construction designed to prevent rust.
  • Approximately half the weight of steel buffer tanks, helping reduce installation labor.
  • Helps improve system operation by reducing heat pump, chiller, or boiler short cycling during low-load periods.
  • Hydraulically separates the heat source from the distribution system.
  • Rated to 180°F at 75 PSI and 140°F at 100 PSI.
  • NSF-approved polypropylene core wrapped in continuous strand fiberglass and high-temperature resin.
  • Closed-cell foam insulation with stated heat loss of less than 1°F per hour.

Applications & Features

  • Suitable for hydronic heating and cooling systems.
  • Suitable for low-mass boiler systems.
  • Suitable for chilled-water applications.
  • Available in 22, 40, 55, 80, and 120 gallon sizes.
  • Four stainless steel side ports.
  • Thermal well included on all sizes except the 22-gallon model.
  • Includes vent, vacuum breaker, and drain connections.

How It Works

Buffer tanks help reduce short cycling of heat pumps, chillers, and boilers. The Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank acts as a thermal energy battery, storing heated or chilled water for use when system demand changes.

Its four-port design hydraulically separates supply and demand, allowing the high-flow heat-source circulator to operate independently from the system distribution pump.

Installation & Functionality

  • Two ports connect to the heat pump or boiler.
  • Two ports connect to the distribution system.
  • When piped correctly, the tank serves as both a thermal buffer and a hydraulic separator.

Efficiency

The supplied product information states that the Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank provides 41% less heat loss than the next comparable buffer tank, helping reduce thermal losses while providing a rust-resistant buffer solution.
