Is Your Buffer Tank Wasting Heat and Money?

If you have a buffer tank in your heat pump system, there’s a good chance it’s not working as efficiently as it should, and it could be quietly draining heat and money without you even realising.

We dive into how four-port buffer tanks work, where they often go wrong and why blending and distortion inside the tank can lead to significant heat loss.

Key questions:

  • How do four-port buffer tanks actually work?
  • Why do they often make heat pump systems inefficient?
  • What does heat loss from a buffer tank look like?
  • How much money could a badly piped buffer tank cost you every year?
  • What’s the alternative? Should you swap your buffer for a volumiser?
