Buffer Tank, searching for old article on tanks

scott w.

Searching for the article written by either Alan or Ray on various types of buffer tanks posted on this site. It was written about a year ago or longer. Great article that discussed various types of buffer tanks and the different heat out put of tanks dependent on where the supply and return came off the tank. Does anyone remember this article? Have searched the Wall but no luck in finding it. Article on buffer tanks would be very helpful right now. I would be most grateful if someone could direct me as to where or how to find it. Thanks

Thanks, just now came across this from one of your earlier posts on the wall. Good article but also would like to find the past article I am thinking of which was very good written by, I think, Alan ?????? who is a tech writer & radiant guru if my memory is correct.

Hi, I don’t think you did anything wrong. I just did a search on Bing to see what would happen 🤪
