Zilmet ZBT-7 7 Gallon Buffer Tank

Description

Zilmet ZBT-7 7 Gallon Buffer Tank Overview

The Zilmet ZBT-7 is a 7-gallon buffer tank engineered to optimize the performance and longevity of hydronic heating and cooling systems. By adding thermal mass to the system loop, the ZBT-7 prevents short cycling of boilers and chillers, reduces wear on equipment, and ensures more consistent, efficient temperature delivery throughout the system.

Key Benefits

• Prevents short cycling of boilers, heat pumps, and chillers by adding critical system volume
• Protects heat exchangers and other components from thermal shock and rapid temperature swings
• Improves system efficiency by maintaining stable loop temperatures
• Extends equipment service life by reducing on/off cycling frequency
• Ideal for low-mass boiler and heat pump applications where minimum water volume is required

Design & Construction

• 7-gallon (approximately 26-liter) capacity provides effective thermal buffering for residential and light commercial systems
• Durable steel construction with corrosion-resistant interior lining for long service life
• Compact, space-saving design for easy installation in mechanical rooms
• Threaded connections for straightforward integration into existing piping
• Manufactured by Zilmet, a trusted European leader in hydronic system components

Typical Applications

• Condensing boiler systems requiring minimum water volume
• Hydronic heat pump installations
• Radiant floor heating systems
• Chilled water cooling systems
• Any hydronic system prone to short cycling or low water volume conditions
