What would be the best aquastat controller to use on a buffer tank that has a mod/con boiler driving it?

    We used Tekmar

    We used a Tekmar 261 to control two boilers and a buffer tank when a Taco SR502 or ZVC403 sent a boiler demand signal.



    Unless I am mistaken, the use of an aquastat would mean the buffer tank constantly gets satisfied even when the zones arent calling.

    Trying to wrap my head around the best controlling stategy... System has two zones. 1 w/ panel rads the other w/ Raupanel. 30 gallon buffer, and a Onex combi boiler.Trying to reduce the run time of the onex . Maybe I am missing the piont of the mod/con. ty,kpc
