Buffer Cylinder Volumiser - VOLANO TERMICO PDC 25l
Technical info:
Buffers either for hot or cold water have two main functions: they work both as hydraulic separator and buffer tank.
The hydraulic separator makes the heat pump flow rates and terminals flow rates unconnected. The buffer function reduces the heat pump on/off switchings.
Hanging energy buffer tanks are designed for wall installation.

What is a Buffer Cylinder and How Does It Work?
Buffer cylinders, also known as buffer tanks, serve as thermal storage units within heating and cooling systems. Their primary function is to stabilize system operation by storing excess heat or chilled water, thereby balancing supply and demand fluctuations. This thermal buffering helps prevent short cycling of boilers and chillers, which can cause excessive wear and reduce equipment lifespan. By managing these variations effectively, buffer cylinders enhance overall system efficiency and reliability.
At their core, buffer cylinders operate on the principle of thermal inertia, acting as energy reservoirs within hydronic systems. When integrated into a heating or cooling circuit, these vessels contain a volume of water that absorbs excess thermal energy during periods of low demand and releases it when demand increases. This fundamental mechanism creates a more stable thermal environment throughout the system.
Key Features and Technical Benefits of Buffer Tanks
Buffer tanks are manufactured using high-quality materials such as stainless steel and glass-lined steel, each offering distinct advantages in durability and corrosion resistance. The availability of multiple inlet and outlet configurations allows for flexible integration into diverse system designs. Additionally, buffer cylinders function as hydraulic accumulators and thermal expansion tanks, improving flow regulation and smoothing mixed flow rates for optimized system performance.
Common Applications and Use Cases for Buffer Cylinders
These tanks are widely used in both residential and commercial HVAC setups to ensure consistent thermal management. They are particularly effective when paired with electric central heating boilers and combined boiler systems to enhance operational stability. Beyond heating, buffer cylinders find specialized applications in equipment like beverage dispensers that require stable flow rates. They also play a crucial role in pressure vessel applications within thermal fluid systems, contributing to safe and efficient operation.
