FlowCyl 50L Buffer Direct Hot Water Cylinder - FCBVS0050
The superior quality of the FlowCyl Buffer cylinders are built using high quality duplex stainless steel.
Using a buffer tank is often described by heat pump manufacturers as the ideal installation providing optimum performance.
The latest NHBC guidance refers to the use of buffers as essential to create an efficient overall system. They are key to preventing short cycling allowing the heatpump to work at its optimum as well as reducing wear and tear on the heatpump components.
If the flow to the heating system can be restricted using radiator thermostats, for example, install a buffer as an intermediate tank. This ensures a secure flow for the heat pump, resulting in improved efficiency and operation of the heat pump.
Install a buffer tank or combined heat pump and buffer to increase the overall system volume in the primary pipework, this helps limit switching the heat pump generator on/off and thereby prevents malfunctions and improves defrost cycles. The resulting use of back up heaters is limited and improves overall running costs.
Flowcyl buffer cylinders carry a 25 year cylinder and 2 year parts guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind.
