Buffer tanks
Pufferspeicher werden eingesetzt, um Heizungswasser vorübergehend zu speichern und die Funktion eines wassergeführten Heizsystems stabiler zu machen. Sie sind besonders wichtig bei Wärmepumpen, Heizungsanlagen, Holzkesseln, Pelletkesseln und Anlagen mit wechselndem Wärmebedarf.
Bei Hewa finden Sie Pufferspeicher in verschiedenen Ausführungen, darunter Stahl-Pufferspeicher, Edelstahl-Pufferspeicher und passendes Zubehör. Achten Sie bei der Auswahl auf Inhalt, Material, Anschlüsse, Isolierung, maximalen Betriebsdruck, Systemvolumen und Anwendung innerhalb der Gesamtanlage.

Buffer tanks for stable heat storage
Buffer tanks provide additional system volume and temporary storage of heating water. This allows a heating system to operate more steadily, especially with heat pumps, heating installations, wood boilers and pellet boilers where flow rate, switching cycles and hydraulic stability are important.
Selecting a buffer tank for the installation
The right buffer tank depends on system volume, heat source, capacity, hydraulic layout and available installation space. With heat pumps, a buffer tank is often used to create sufficient water volume and reduce cycling behaviour. With wood and pellet boilers, the tank helps store generated heat more effectively.
Within this category, also review steel buffer tanks for heat pumps, stainless steel buffer tanks for heat pumps and buffer tank accessories for installation and service.
Important when choosing buffer tanks
- Match the volume to heat source, system volume and installation capacity
- Check material selection, such as steel or stainless steel, based on the application
- Check connection sizes, connection positions and available installation height
- Check maximum operating pressure, temperature class and insulation value
- Choose a version that matches the heat pump, boiler, wood boiler or pellet boiler
- Consider venting, draining, fittings and service accessibility
- Have sizing and connection assessed by a qualified installer
Applications within buffer tanks
Heat pump systems
For additional system volume, smoother control behaviour and better coordination between heat pump, heat distribution system and hydraulic installation layout.
Heating installations
For storing heating water and supporting installations where multiple heat distribution groups, heat sources or control components work together.
Wood and pellet boilers
For temporary storage of generated heat, allowing solid fuel boilers to operate more efficiently and more steadily within the installation.
System volume, hydraulics and efficiency
A correctly selected buffer tank contributes to a stable installation and can reduce unnecessary switching cycles. With heat pumps in particular, sufficient water volume is important for smooth control behaviour. In installations with multiple heat sources or heat distribution systems, the buffer tank can also help coordinate flow rate, temperature and heat output more effectively.
Always check whether the buffer tank matches the pipework, pump, control setup, safety components and intended application. Insulation, standing loss, weight, connection position and accessibility for maintenance are also important for a clean and service-friendly installation.
Frequently asked questions about buffer tanks
What is a buffer tank used for?
A buffer tank is used to temporarily store heating water. The tank increases system volume and can contribute to more stable operation of the heating installation.
When is a buffer tank needed with a heat pump?
A buffer tank is often useful when additional system volume, hydraulic separation or smoother control behaviour is required. This depends on the heat pump, the heat distribution system and the minimum water volume of the installation.
What is the difference between a steel and stainless steel buffer tank?
A steel buffer tank is often used in closed heating systems. A stainless steel buffer tank can be useful when corrosion resistance, material choice or specific installation requirements are particularly important.
What volume should a buffer tank have?
The correct volume depends on capacity, system volume, heat source, heat distribution system and desired operation. Sizing should therefore always be matched to the technical data of the installation.
What should an installer check during installation?
Check connections, flow direction, venting, draining option, insulation, weight, installation location, service access and the technical documentation of the heat source and buffer tank.
