Arctic Hybrid Heat/Chiller Tank 22 Gallon

Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank – Pressurized Composite Buffer Tank
The Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank is the only pressurized composite buffer tank on the market, offering superior performance compared to traditional steel tanks. Better insulated, roughly half the weight, and completely rust-proof, it is ideal for hydronic heating and cooling systems, low-mass boiler systems, and chilled water applications.
🔹 Key Advantages
-
Corrosion-Free: Made from NSF-approved polypropylene with continuous strand fiberglass and high-temperature resin; will never rust
-
Lightweight Design: Approximately half the weight of steel buffer tanks, reducing labor costs during installation
-
Superior Insulation: Closed-cell foam provides unmatched R-value and heat loss of less than 1°F per hour
-
Energy Efficient: Reduces heat pump, chiller, or boiler short cycling during low load periods
-
Hydraulic Separation: Four-port design separates supply and demand, ensuring optimal system performance
⚙️ Specifications
-
Maximum Temperature: 180°F at 75 PSI, 140°F at 100 PSI
-
Sizes Available: 22, 40, 55, 80, 120 gallons
-
Ports & Features: 4 stainless steel side ports, thermal well (except 22-gallon), vent, vacuum breaker, drain
🔹 Operation & Function
The Arctic Hybrid Tank acts as a thermal energy battery, storing heated or chilled water for use when needed. By separating the high-flow heat pump or boiler circuit from the system’s hydraulic loads, it:
-
Reduces short cycling of heat pumps, chillers, or boilers
-
Balances multiple low-BTU loads calling at different times
-
Serves as both a thermal buffer and hydraulic separator when properly piped
🔹 Efficiency
With 41% less heat loss than comparable tanks, the Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank maximizes energy savings while providing a durable, rust-free solution for your hydronic system.
