Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank
The Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank is a pressurized composite buffer tank designed for hydronic heating and cooling systems. Its composite construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel tanks while helping improve system stability and reduce equipment short cycling.
The tank is constructed with an NSF-approved polypropylene core wrapped in continuous strand fiberglass and high-temperature resin, providing a rust-resistant solution for hydronic, low-mass boiler, and chilled-water applications.
Insulation & Performance
- Corrosion-resistant composite construction designed to prevent rust.
- Approximately half the weight of traditional steel buffer tanks.
- Helps reduce heat pump, chiller, or boiler short cycling during low-load periods.
- Provides hydraulic separation between the heat source and distribution system.
- Rated to 180°F at 75 PSI and 140°F at 100 PSI.
- NSF-approved polypropylene core with 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
The primary purpose of a buffer tank is to reduce short cycling of heat pumps, chillers, or 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 the heat-source circuit from the distribution system, allowing the high-flow heat pump or boiler circulator to operate independently from the system's distribution pump.
Installation & Functionality
- Two ports connect to the heat pump or boiler.
- Two ports connect to the distribution system.
- Proper piping allows the tank to function as both a thermal buffer and hydraulic separator.
Efficiency
The supplied product information states that the Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank provides 41% less heat loss than a comparable buffer tank, helping reduce thermal losses while providing a durable, rust-resistant buffer solution.
