The Baxi 40L Buffer Vessel is a high-quality, energy-efficient storage tank designed to work seamlessly with your existing central heating system. This buffer vessel effectively smooths out fluctuations in water temperature, improving boiler efficiency and responsiveness. Enjoy consistent hot water throughout your home and reduced energy consumption, thanks to this reliable and durable buffer vessel. Ideal for homes needing consistent water temperature and reduced boiler stress. This 40L capacity buffer tank will provide sufficient hot water storage for most households. Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance. Easy installation and compatible with the majority of Baxi and other leading boiler brands.
Key Features:
Capacity: The 40L (liter) size refers to the storage capacity of the buffer vessel. It can store up to 40 liters of water.
Purpose: The main role of the buffer vessel is to help manage the flow of heat. It allows for a more efficient operation of the heating system, particularly in systems where there are intermittent heating needs, such as with heat pumps. By storing hot water, the buffer vessel helps to maintain a steady temperature, reducing the need for the heat pump to constantly switch on and off.
Heat Regulation: By storing thermal energy, the buffer vessel can maintain a constant temperature in the system, which helps to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Prevents Short Cycling: In systems without a buffer vessel, frequent short cycling of the heat pump (turning on and off rapidly) can lead to inefficiencies. The buffer vessel helps prevent this by providing additional capacity to absorb heat when the heat pump is running.
Common Applications:
Heating Systems: Typically used in domestic or commercial heating systems, particularly with biomass, heat pumps, or condensing boilers.
Renewable Energy Systems: Often used in systems that rely on renewable energy sources, where the production of heat may not always align with demand.
In summary, the Baxi 40L Buffer Vessel enhances the efficiency of heating systems by storing heat, ensuring consistent performance, and reducing wear and tear on the heat pump
