Description

Panasonic 260L Pump Buffer Tank

Panasonic Buffer tanks are designed for both heating and cooling systems on air-source heat pumps to prevent the heat pumps from short cycling on and off frequently by increasing the water volume and providing water storage thereby increasing system efficiency and longevity of the Heat Pump

If retrofitting a heat pump a buffer tank is always advised for installations of Underfloor heating and heating circuits where no other storage of water volume for space heating is evident on the system

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size hot-water cylinder do I need with an air source heat pump?

    Cylinder size depends on household occupancy, expected hot-water demand, available reheat capacity and system design. It should be selected around the property’s hot-water requirements rather than heat-pump output alone.

  • What’s the difference between a buffer tank and a hot-water cylinder?

    A hot-water cylinder stores domestic hot water for taps and showers. A buffer tank stores water within the heating circuit and can provide additional system volume or hydraulic stability where required.

  • Do I need both a buffer tank and a hot-water cylinder with a heat pump?

    Not always, a hot-water cylinder is generally required where the heat pump provides stored domestic hot water, while the need for a buffer tank depends on the hydraulic design and heat-pump manufacturer’s requirements.
