ThermoCon™ buffer storage tanks are multi-use tanks designed to be used for wood fired boilers, solar and geothermal storage, plus in heating systems with low-mass boilers, chilled water systems and low-mass radiation. These fully-insulated, porcelain-coated steel tanks are ideal for chilled, hot water, or potable water applications. Short-cycling in boilers and chillers is a common problem that reduces the efficiency of hydronic equipment and shortens its lifespan. In addition, solar thermal and geothermal systems often need more thermal storage in order to keep up with the peak thermal demands of a building. ThermoCon™ tanks maximize the efficiency of any hydronic system by providing thermal storage and can also serve as a hydraulic separator to prevent pump conflict. In plumbing applications, it is a hot water storage tank for water that is heated from another source including a traditional boiler, wood fired boiler, heat pump or solar.
