/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....
Read MoreCondensing Boiler Plant Piping Design & Control Part 4: What is Specific Heat and Why You Should Care?
/Special care must be taken in the design of condensing boiler systems with low water volume -- especially condensing boiler systems with water tube boilers. If not correctly designed, boilers will perpetually short cycle or (worse) constantly go off on high limit temperature. Why is this a problem with low water volume systems? It all has to do with Specific Heat....
