THERMO 2000 BUFFMAX Buffer Storage Tanks

The THERMO 2000 BUFFMAX Buffer Storage Tank is a versatile 3-in-1 solution that functions as a buffer tank, storage tank, and hydraulic separator. Ideal for optimizing the performance of various heating systems, including low-mass boilers, biomass systems, geothermal, heat pumps, multi-zone, and solar energy systems, the BuffMax helps reduce on/off cycling and extends equipment lifespan. With features like 2" HFC-free polyurethane insulation, 150 psi maximum operating pressure, and adjustable legs, this tank stores energy efficiently and ensures smooth operation. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the BuffMax enhances system performance and energy efficiency.

FEATURES

BUFFER TANK
The BuffMax optimizes runtimes and limits on/off cycling of the energy source. When the minimum system load is lower than the energy source’s minimum capacity, the system will generate short cycles. This causes premature wear of the equipment and substantially decreases the system’s energy efficiency.

STORAGE TANK
Any hydronic heating system with the BuffMax stores energy like a battery. When a demand is made for limited heating (for example, when there is little difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures) or when it is used with a low-capacity energy source, the energy required will first come from the tank’s thermal storage.

HYDRAULIC SEPARATOR
Adding a BuffMax tank to a hydronic heating system helps to evacuate air, eliminate impurities and ensure the optimal functioning of the pumps—not only for the energy source but also for the distribution system.
