x-buffer heat storage
Storing heat loss-free.
The energy generated by the heat pump is not always used in full immediately. Then it makes sense to store the heat generated with regenerative energy efficiently and with as few losses as possible. This makes heat storage an important component in any future-oriented system.
It doesn't matter whether it's about heating or hygienically perfect drinking water: A heat storage is an essential element in a modern heating system.
Compact, powerful, uncomplicated. The x-buffer heat storage store the generated heat energy and transfer it to the heating system. The modern insulation keeps these heat storage losses extremely low. The two temperature levels in the x-buffer flex stratified buffer cylinder for hot water and heating, in conjunction with the integrated inflow dampers, ensure optimum temperature stratification and ensure that the generated heat is stored efficiently.
Storage system for every need. All x-buffer heat accumulators are versatile and flexible in use and have many connection options. This enables flexible integration of additional heat generators on site.
Clever design. The innovative housing design also masters challenges that arise specifically during renovations. Even unfavorable installation conditions such as low basement rooms are no obstacle.
What types of heat storage tanks are there?
Buffer storage tanks
Buffer storage tanks store hot heating water and release it again when required. They compensate for fluctuations in heat generation and heat demand and ensure a constant room temperature. This means that heat is generated regardless of when it is consumed and the heating does not have to restart every time a radiator is turned on, for example.
Hot water storage tank
Domestic hot water is heated to the desired temperature and stored in the hot water cylinder so that it can be used when required. As with the buffer storage tank, production and consumption are also decoupled here. Hot water storage tanks ensure that there is always enough hot water available. For a four-person household, a cylinder with a capacity of around 300 liters is recommended in order to easily cover peak demand in the morning.
Combined storage tank
The combined storage tank combines two separate storage areas in its interior: one for heating water and one for drinking water. This means that it simultaneously serves as a buffer storage tank for the heating system and as a hot water storage tank for heating drinking water. Combined storage tanks are the ideal solution when there is little space in the basement, but an efficient and environmentally friendly storage system is still desired. Another advantage is the lower installation costs, as only one cylinder needs to be installed.
Hygienic storage tank
A hygienic storage tank is a combination of buffer storage tank and DHW heater. In contrast to the combined storage tank, however, the drinking water is not stored in the storage tank itself. Instead, it flows through an integrated corrugated stainless steel pipe as required, where it is heated according to the instantaneous water heater principle. This process minimizes the storage volume and thus reduces the risk of legionella formation, which contributes to excellent drinking water hygiene.
