Suojasäiliöitä
Suojasäiliöitä, known in English as buffer tanks or storage tanks, are essential components in various heating and cooling systems. Their primary function is to store thermal energy, effectively decoupling the heat source from the heat distribution. This means that the boiler or heat pump can operate at its optimal efficiency without being constantly turned on and off by fluctuating demand from the building's heating system.
In heating applications, suojasäiliöitä are typically filled with water. When the heat source generates more heat
Suojasäiliöitä are also used in cooling systems, where they store chilled water. This allows chillers to operate
The size of a suojasäiliö is determined by factors such as the heating or cooling load of
