What’re the effects of buffer tank for a heat pump system?

Buffer hot water tank is a very important component in heat pump heating system. It is located between the heat pump heater and the heating system, and can buffer and store hot water for the system, the buffer tank plays the following roles in a heat pump system:

Balanced supply of hot water:The hot water supply in a heat pump heating system is usually unstable. The heat pump needs to be constantly adjusted and controlled due to changes in outdoor ambient temperature and indoor temperature, which leads to instability of hot water supply. The buffer hot water tank can make the hot water supply more stable by storing and balancing the supply of hot water.

Increase the temperature of hot water: The hot water in a heat pump heating system is usually cold enough to satisfy indoor comfort. The buffer hot water tank can store and heat the hot water to raise the temperature of the hot water and keep the temperature stable.

Reduce the number of heat pump start and stop: In heat pump heating system, the energy consumption of heat pump increases because the heat pump needs to be turned on and off to meet the indoor temperature demand. The buffer hot water tank can store a certain amount of hot water to reduce the number of start-up and stop times of the heat pump, thereby reducing energy consumption.

Increase the service life of the heat pump: In the heat pump heating system, the heat pump needs to be started and stopped frequently, which will cause the wear and tear of the heat pump, and shorten the service life of the heat pump. The buffered hot water tank can balance the water supply of the system, reducing the number of start-up and stop times of the heat pump, thereby extending the service life of the heat pump.

In general, the buffer hot water tank plays an important role in the heat pump heating system, such as balancing the water supply, increasing the temperature of hot water, reducing the times of starting and stopping and prolonging the service life of the heat pump.
