Buffer tanks at a glance

Buffer vessels

The aim of a buffer vessel is to remove the possibility of any short cycling of the heating appliance.

Kensa heat pumps and buffer vessels

Kensa’s system designs are specifically designed to remove the need for buffer vessels, by leaving approximately 25% of the heating zones hydraulically open.

Fully Zoned Heating Systems

If full control is required over all the heating zones then Kensa would recommend the use of a twin connection buffer vessel as this is the most efficient way of using a buffer vessel.
