Optimize Any Hydronic Heating System with BuffMax® by Thermo 2000
The BuffMax® thermal storage tank is a high-performance 3-in-1 solution designed to optimize and improve the efficiency of hydronic heating systems. Acting simultaneously as a buffer tank, storage tank, and hydraulic separator, BuffMax® is ideal for use with:
- Low-mass boilers
- Biomass heating systems
- Geothermal systems
- Heat pump systems
- Multi-zone hydronic systems
- Solar thermal energy systems
🔋 Buffer Tank – Reduce Short Cycling & Maximize Boiler Efficiency
In hydronic systems, short cycling occurs when the system load is lower than the energy source's minimum capacity, leading to frequent on/off cycles, premature equipment wear, and energy waste. The BuffMax® buffer tank increases runtime efficiency and helps prevent these short cycles, extending the lifespan of heating equipment and reducing energy consumption.
Benefits:
- Prevents boiler short-cycling
- Enhances system longevity
- Maintains steady water temperatures
🌡️ Storage Tank – Store Thermal Energy Like a Battery
The BuffMax® thermal storage tank acts like an energy battery, storing heat and releasing it only when needed. During low heating demand periods or when used with a low-capacity energy source, such as solar or geothermal, the tank helps deliver immediate thermal energy without activating the primary source.
Ideal For:
- Partial load or intermittent heat demands
- Reducing startup cycles
- Enhancing solar and renewable integration
🔄 Hydraulic Separator – Improve Pump & System Performance
By functioning as a hydraulic separator, the BuffMax® improves system flow, balances circuits, and protects pumps and other components. It effectively removes air, sludge, and debris, helping maintain the efficiency and safety of the hydronic network.
System Optimization:
- Ensures optimal pump operation
- Removes air and impurities
- Balances flow between energy source and distribution
🌍 Compatible with a Wide Range of Hydronic Systems
BuffMax® buffer tanks are highly recommended for:
- Low-mass boiler optimization
