Hi,
I have a water underfloor heating installation ready, only now I need to connect a heating source and possibly a buffer tank to it. For now my heating source will be a regular electric boiler, but in the future I plan on replacing it with a heat pump.
I'm trying to find out if
- I need a buffer tank (apparently yes as, everywhere they say that it reduces the heating cycles of the boiler/heat pump and reduces the wear and tear)
- I need a buffer tank with a heat exchanger or if it should just be added to the circuit as a sort of "big expansion vessel"
Also I need it to be horizontal, which is hard to find, so I was planning on using a model that is normally used with solar heaters. Does anyone find that weird?
Thank you.
