Condensing Boiler Plant Piping Design & Control Part 5: How To Size a Buffer Tank
/Not every boiler system requires a buffer tank – but some do. So how do you know if a buffer tank is needed for your particular boiler system or boiler plant design? A buffer tank is required when there is not enough water volume in the system to absorb the excess heat from the boiler during operation or during start-up firing....

/It takes approximately 1000 Btus of energy to convert one pound of water into vapor. Think of that as the price you pay as part of the combustion process in a typical non-condensing hydronic boiler. That’s a good starting place for this next series on Energy Efficient Hot Water Boiler Plant Design.
