Chilled Water Buffer Tanks
For More Information:
Niles Steel Chilled Water Buffer Tanks are designed to increase a chiller system’s capacity so water temperatures stabilize within the chiller manufacturers recommendations. When the cooling systems piping capacity is under-sized, compressors will short cycle and temperature control is harder to maintain within the building.
Chiller manufacturers recommend between 3 to 10 gallons per ton of nominal cooling capacity, in the piping system. Depending on the level of accuracy of temperature control, higher volumes may be required.
Built to optimize modern-day chiller systems
Niles Steel Tank’s Buffer Tanks are designed for use with Commercial chiller water systems and hydronic heating systems which may have insufficient water volume to maintain optimum operating temperature control. Count on us for standard and custom configurations.
