What is a sound chamber, and what is its function in the system?

Buffer tank is a separation element that hydraulically separates primary (producer) and secondary (consumer) circuits in heating and cooling systems, damping flow and temperature fluctuations. It prevents sudden load changes at the boiler, cascade system, or chiller outlet from turning into thermal stress on the heat source, reduces back pressure and flow resistance in pumps, thus ensuring stable, quiet, and efficient operation while extending equipment life.

When should a balance tank be used?

``` In systems with multiple pumps and variable flow rate consumers, in cascade boiler or chiller applications, in installations where three-way valves are common, and in all scenarios where producer-consumer flows operate differently, the balance tank is preferred. This way, the primary circuit is stabilized in its most efficient flow while the secondary circuit freely responds to demands; typical problems such as short circuit at low load, insufficient flow rate at high load, and thermal sh...

What is the difference between the MIT Balance Tank and the classic balance tank?

While the classic balance tank serves only hydraulic separation and thermal balancing functions, the MIT Package Balance Tank also offers air separator and sludge retention functions within the same body. Non-dissolved gases are removed with automatic air venting at the top, and sludge accumulation is discharged in a controlled manner at the bottom; thus, without the need for separate equipment and additional piping, both the space and installation costs decrease, the circuit remains clean an...

How should a sound level meter be sized and where should it be placed?

Resizing aims to keep the pressure loss at a negligible level by creating low speed in the body and to increase the separation effect; in practice, it is essential to select very low internal speed and determine the appropriate diameter and height according to the total flow rate of the primary-secondary. The device is usually positioned close to the heat source and close to the primary pump suction; short and symmetrical connections are preferred with secondary collectors, an air vent is con...

How to choose material and pressure class, how to comply with standards?

The body material of the balance tank is selected according to system water chemistry and operating conditions; while carbon steel is common in central systems, stainless steel solutions are considered for applications with high corrosion risk. Connection types can be flanged, threaded, or welded according to the project; PN class and test pressure are determined according to operating pressure and temperature. MIT balance tanks are produced in compliance with relevant quality requirements an...

What should be considered in management and maintenance?

Before starting up, it should be checked that all drain points are working, the air vent is operational, and the bottom drain is securely connected. Periodic visual inspection, monitoring temperature differences and pump operating points, and if a package type is being used, regular sludge discharge is sufficient; these simple maintenance steps protect the heater source from thermal shocks, the pumps from hydraulic stress, and keep the system efficiency high for a long time.
