Description
The Zilmet ZBT-14 is a 14-gallon hydronic buffer tank engineered to improve the performance and longevity of modern heating and cooling systems. By adding thermal mass to the system loop, the ZBT-14 helps prevent short cycling — one of the leading causes of premature heat source wear — and ensures more stable, consistent supply water temperatures throughout the system.
Why Use a Buffer Tank?
In low-mass hydronic systems — such as those using high-efficiency condensing boilers, heat pumps, or chiller systems — the heating or cooling source can satisfy demand too quickly, causing rapid on/off cycling. The Zilmet ZBT-14 adds the necessary water volume to the system to smooth out these fluctuations, protecting your equipment and improving comfort.
