Amtrol ASME Tanks Boost Nonpotable Water Efficiency

Frequent equipment cycling, temperature fluctuations, and operational inefficiencies in non-potable water systems can significantly impact performance. Amtrol's ASME-certified buffer tanks offer an industry-recognized solution designed to enhance closed-system operations through superior engineering and reliable performance.

The Amtrol Cold Water Buffer Tank (CWBT series) provides critical stabilization for chilled water applications with these key features:

• Internal Baffle Design: Strategically placed baffles promote uniform water circulation, eliminating cold spots and improving heat transfer efficiency.
• High-Capacity Options: Available in capacities up to 1,040 gallons (3,937 liters) to accommodate large commercial and industrial requirements.
• Versatile Connections: Flange connections ranging from 3" to 12" ensure compatibility with most piping systems.
• Pressure Ratings: Available in 125 PSIG (8.6 bar) or 150 PSIG (10.3 bar) maximum working pressure configurations.
• Temperature Tolerance: Withstands operating temperatures up to 450°F (232°C), providing flexibility for various applications.
• Customizable Options: Available with seismic restraints, sensor ports, and grooved-end connections for enhanced functionality.

The Amtrol Hot Water Buffer Tank (HWBT series) improves thermal system performance through:

• Dual-Port Configuration: Standard 2-port models increase system thermal storage capacity.
• Advanced 4-Port Design: Provides hydraulic separation between heat sources and distribution systems to prevent pressure and flow interference.
• Multiple Sizes: Available in capacities up to 300 gallons (1,136 liters) for medium-sized applications.
• Standard Connections: Offered with 2", 3", and 4" connection sizes for flexible installation.
• Robust Construction: Matches the pressure and temperature ratings of cold water models for consistent performance.

Amtrol buffer tanks demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship through:

• ASME-Compliant Materials: Fabricated from premium steel meeting ASME Section VIII, Division 1 standards.
• Durable Finishes: Exterior surfaces receive red oxide primer for corrosion protection and paint adhesion.
• Precision Manufacturing: Produced in ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities ensuring consistent quality.

• Maximum Temperature: 450°F (232°C)
• Pressure Ratings: 125 PSIG (8.6 bar) or 150 PSIG (10.3 bar) options
• Warranty: Backed by a 3-year limited warranty

These buffer tanks provide reliable solutions for chilled water and hot water systems, combining ASME-compliant engineering with practical design features to optimize system performance and longevity.
