6.12 Buffer storage tank operation
If a buffer storage tank sensor B4 is connected, a decision is made based on the
temperature acquired with B4 (actual value 1 of buffer storage tank temperature)
whether the consumers shall receive their heat from the heat source or from the buffer
storage tank.
If the temperature measured in the buffer storage tank is higher than the flow
temperature called for by the consumers, the heat generation will be locked and the
consumers receive their heat from the buffer storage tank.
If the temperature measured in the buffer storage tank is lower than the flow
temperature called for by the consumers, the buffer storage tank will be locked and the
consumers receive their heat solely from the heat source.
Example of a hydraulic circuit with a buffer storage tank. The buffer storage tank can be
charged by any type of heat source (wood-fired boiler, solar collectors, heat pump, etc).

The diverting valve must be connected in parallel to the pump of the boiler. The pump
must be defined as a boiler pump (refer to operating line 95).
