4 min readIf you’re looking for the correct way to size a chilled water buffer tank, you’ve probably had experience with chillers cycling because the buffer tank is too small.
Ever had the frustration of fluctuating temperatures as your load changes? The temperature of the room plummets suddenly as the load drops.
The system goes out on LT fault, which requires a service call to site to carry out the reset. And then there’s the possibility of flood back and oil lift in the compressor, and all sorts of other problems.
Fiddling with the BMS and installing additional valves may help temporarily, but it doesn’t solve the problem.
Or maybe your issue has been the opposite: going way over budget on a 10,000L buffer tank, when you only needed half that extra volume.
We’ve seen hundreds of cases like these in our 20 years...
