buffer/ separator tank

Here is a tank we are working on. It will be available as a 50, 80 or 119 gallon capacity. It has seven- 2" FIP ports spaced around it, a drain and three 3/4" top ports. It is glassed lined and could be used for potable water also. Dual anode rods are an option.



It could be used as a buffer and separator tank,for hydronics, solar, chilled water, GEO buffer or DHW use.



I've shown a bunch of bushing options for adding sensors or reducing the port size with reducing ells. We will have 2 X 3/4 stainless bushings as an option.



I also have some duplex bushings from O.E.M, to put multiple sensors in one port, or a double tapped bushing to put a dip tube at a predetermined level in the tank.



I'm also working on a coiled HX that could screw into the 2" ports. probably enough HX for 2 or 3 collectors.



Here is a pic of one connected to my wood gasification boiler. The boiler, 500 gallon storage and take-offs to the radiant are shown. I also have a sensor well to accept 3 small diameter sensors in one 3/4" port.



Any other ideas or suggestions?
