Buffer Tanks

HOWAT
Enamelled

GLASS + UV

Available in capacities ranging from 50 to 100 liters, these units feature a glass-enamel lining and include supports for either wall-mounted or floor-standing installation. Furthermore, they are equipped with a port for an electric heating element, should you deem it necessary.

Available in capacities ranging from 50 to 100 liters (enamel-lined) and from 160 to 1000 liters, featuring one or two heat exchangers, allowing for easy integration into any type of system (boilers, solar collectors, or a combination of both).

Technical Specifications

50-100 Lt

Glass+UV

HOWAT buffer tanks are the ideal solution for optimizing the performance of a heating system, ensuring greater economy and efficiency. They are connected in series with the boiler—whether it is an oil or natural gas boiler, or a heat pump—or with solar collectors. The unit features dense polyurethane thermal insulation to minimize heat loss, while multiple connection ports offer flexibility for hydraulic piping. These tanks facilitate the storage of hot water while the heating system is in operation, ensuring that a volume of heated water remains available whenever it is needed.
